The armistice begins on 17 
December, 1917, at noon (4 De- 
cember, 1917, at fourteen o'clock, 
Russian time) and extends until 
14 January, 1918, noon (1 Jan- 
uary, 1918, fourteen o'clock, 
Russian time). The contracting 
parties have the right on the 
twenty-first day of the armistice 
to give a seven days' notice of 
termination; such not being done, 
the armistice automatically re- 
mains in force until one of the 
contracting parties gives such 
seven days' notice. 

II. 

The armistice ap])lies to all 
land and air fighting forces of the 
said Powers on the land front 
between the Black wSea and the 
Baltic Sea. In the Russo-Turkish 
theaters of war in Asia the armis- 
tice goes into effect at the same 
time. 

The contracting parties obli- 
gate themselves, during the period 
of the armistice, neither to aug- 
ment the number of detachments 
of troops stationed on the said 
fronts and on the islands of Moon 
Sound — this applies also to their 
organization and status — nor to 
attempt any regroupings in prep- 
aration for an offensive. 

Further, the contracting parties 
obligate themselves not to under- 
take any transfere of troops until 
14 January, 1918 (1 January,

between the Black Sea and the 
Baltic Sea, unless such transfers 
had already been begun at the 
moment of the signing of the 
armistice. 

Finally, the contracting parties 
obligate themselves not to assem- 
ble any troops in the harbors of 
the Baltic Sea east of 15° longi- 
tude east of Greenwich and in 
the harbors of the Black Sea 
during the period of the armistice. 

III. 

The advance entanglements of 
each party's position will be con- 
sidered as demarcation lines on 
the European front. These lines 
may be crossed only under the 
conditions noted in IV. 

In places where entrenched 
positions do not exist, the demar- 
cation lines for each side will be 
a straight line drawm tlirough the 
most advanced occupied positions. 
The space between the two lines 
will be considered neutral ground. 
Likewise, navigable rivers sepa- 
rating the opposing positions will 
be neutral and closed to naviga- 
tion, except in case of commer- 
cial shipping agreed upon. For 
sections in which the positions 
are widely separated it will de- 
volve upon the Armistice Com- 
mission (VII) to determine and 
establish the lines of demarcation. 

In the Russo-Turkish theaters 
of war in Asia, the lines of demar- 
cation, as well as intercourse 
through them(IV), are to be deter- 
mined by agreement of the divi- 
sion commanders of both sides 

IV. 

For the development and 
strengthening of the friendly 
relations between the peoples of 
the contracting parties, organized 
intercourse between the troops is 
permitted under the following con- 
ditions :

1 . Intercourse is permitted par- 
lementaires and the members of 
the Armistice Commission (VII) 
and their representatives. All 
such must have passes signed by 
at least a corps commander or 
a corps committee. 

2. In each section of a Rus- 
sian division organized inter- 
course may take place at two 
to three places. 

For this purpose, by agreement 
of the divisions opposed to each 
other, centers of intercourse are 
to be established in the neutral 
zone between the demarcation 
lines and are to be distinguished 
by white flags. Intercourse is 
permissible only by day from 
sunrise to sunset. 

At the centers of intercouree 
not more than twenty-five un- 
armed persons belonging to either 
side may be present at any one 
time. The exchange of news and 
newspapers is allowed. Open 
letters may be passed for dispatch. 
The sale and exchange of wares of 
everyday use is permitted at the 
centers of intercourse. 

3. The interment of the dead 
in the neutral zone is permitted. 
The special details in each case 
are to be agreed upon by the 
divisional commanders on either 
side or their ranking officers. 

4. The question of the return 
of dismissed soldiere of one coun- 
try whose domiciles be beyond 
the demarcation lines of the other 
country, can be decided only at 
the peace negotiations. This ap- 
plies also to the members of Polish 
detachments. 

5. AU persons who — contrary 
to the agreements 1-4 preceding — 
cross the demarcation lines of the 
opposing party will be arrested 
and not released until the conclu- 
sion of peace or the denunciation 
of the armistice. 

The contracting parties obligate 
themselves to bring to the notice of 
their troops by strict orders and

detailed explanation the neces- 
sity for the observance of the 
conditions of intercourse and the 
consequences of infraction thereof. 



With regard to naval warfare 
the following conditions are 
agreed upon : 

1. The armistice extends to the 
whole of the Black Sea and to the 
Baltic Sea east of 15° longitude 
east of Greenwich, and to all the

tracting parties within these re- 
gions. 

Regarding the question of the 
armistice in the White Sea and in 
the Russian coastal waters of the 
northern Arctic Ocean, a special

as far as possible, the naval forces 
of the contracting parties from 
engaging each other on other seas. 

2. Attacks by sea and by air 
upon ports and coasts belonging 
to one of tile contracting parties 
will be discontinued by both sides 
on all seas . Similarly, naval forces 
belonging to one party are for- 
bidden to enter the harbors and 
approach the coasts occupied by 
the other party. 

3. Flights over the ports and 
coasts of one of the contracting 
parties as well as over demarcation 
lines are forbidden upon all seas 
to the other party. 

4. The demarcation lines run

a) in the Black Sea, from Olinka- 
Lighthouse (St. Georges 
mouth) to Cape Jeros (Trebi- 
zond).

[Ti-anslation.] 

Supplementary to and in ex- 
tension of the armistice, the con- 
tracting parties have agreed to 
undertake as quickly as possible 
the regulation of the exchange of 
civilian prisoners and prisoners 
of war unfit for military service 
directly through the front. The 
repatriation of women and chil- 
dren under fourteen years of age 
detained by either side in the 
course of the war shall be first 
effected. 

The contracting parties will 
immediately arrange for the great- 
est possible amelioration of the 
condition of the prisoners of war 
on l)oth sides. This shall be one 
of the foremost tasks of the Gov- 
ernments engaged. 

In order to promote the peace 
negotiations and to heal as 
c{uickly as possible the wounds 
inflicted by the war upon civi- 
lization, measures will be taken 
for the restoration of the cul- 
tural and economic relations be- 
tween the contracting parties. 
To this end the following, among 
other things, shall contribute: 

The reestablishment of postal 
and commercial intercourse, the 
transmission of books and news- 
papers and the like within the 
limits drawn bv the armistice.

ALLEGED SECRET CONVENTION CONCERNING POLAND. CON- 
CLUDED AT BREST-LITOVSK, 22 DECEMBER, 1917.* 



English translation of the text published in the Glos Naroda (Cracow) of 18 June, 191S, 
taken from the (British) Daily Review of the Foreign Press, Neutral Press Supple- 
ment, 5 July, 1918.] 

Report of the sitting of Dec. 22, 1917, at General Headquarters, 
with the participation of the following persons: — (1) Representatives 
of the Russian Government — MM. Krylenko, Volodarsky, Zalkind, 
Uritsky, Raskolnikov, Fayerabend, Antonov, Derzhinsky, Kudraiev, 
Skrypkin; (2) Representatives of the German Command — ^MM. G. von 
Taubner, Erich von Schunemann, Rausch. 

The plenipotentiaries present have concluded the following agree- 
ment: — 

I. — Polish policy is to be conducted by the German Government. 

II. — The Russian Government does not in any way interfere in 
questions regarding the organisation of Poland, in consequence of 
which it has not the right to protest or to demand explanations — 

(1) Either in the question of the separation of the metal and 
coal district of Dombrova and its annexation to German terri- 
tory; 

(2) Or in the (question of the limitation of the rights of per- 
sons of Polish origin so far as concerns the petroleum industry 
in Galicia; . 

(3) Or in the question of the separation and the government 
of the province of Chelm; 

(4) Or in the question of the customs policy of Germany, of 
Austria-Hungary, of Lithuania, of Courland, of Esthonia, of 
Livonia, in relation to Poland; 

(5) Or in the question of the economic policy of Germany and 
of Austria-Hungary in the province of Posen, in Galicia, as well 
as the provinces that have just been detached from Russia. 

HI. — ^The Council of Commissioners of the People has the right to 
remain in touch with the democratic, revolutionary centres existing 
in Poland, in order to propagate revolutionary ideas by sending into 

lA summary of this alleged treaty, corresponding in outline to the text here given, was published in the 
Gazette de Lausanne of 12 May, 1918. The existence of the convention has been denied by the Soviet 
Government of Russia ( New York Times, 2 July, 1918) and by the Austnan Government and the German 
Minister at Berne, ( Christian Science Monitor, 3 August, 1918). The (British) Daily Review of the 
Foreign Press, Neutral Press Supplement, 12 July, 1918, refers to an announcement in Novaya Zkizn, 4 
May, 1918, of the discovery by the Special Committee for Fighting the Coimter-Revolution of a secret 
organization led by two brothers, Lyntoslavsky, for the fabrication of forged documents, such as this con- 
Tention concerning Poland. It also refers to an allegation by the Russische J^achrichten (Berne) of an 
alibi for seven of the Russians alleged to have signed the convention, and to the same paper's denial of the 
existence of the two others. Anti-Bolshevik papers in Russia which printed the treaty were suppressed 
for publishing false statements.

12 THE RUSSIAN " PEACE. " 

Poland agitators inscribed in the lists of the German information 
bureaux at Petrograd and also at Warsaw. 

IV. — The dispatch of agitators to Germany and Austria-Hungary 
will be interrupted by the Council of Commissioners of the People. 

V. — -The Council of Commissioners of the People is to exercise 
surveillance over the groups of Polish Chauvinists, in order to pre- 
vent them raising volunteers for a territorial army in Russia. 

VI. — Russia considers the crossing of the frontiers of Lithuania 
and the Ukraine by Polish troops a declaration of war by Poland 
on the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, and Russia will give 
every assistance to the Germans arid to the Austro-Hungarians to 
destroy these armies. 

VII. — The Council of Commissioners of the People, through its 
representatives at the future Peace Congress, will protest against the 
formation of a Polish army and Ministry of War in the name of 
Socialism and the abolition of war. 

VIII. — The Council of Commissioners of the People, with the help 
of its financial agents, is to see that Russian citizens do not place 
their capital, and also do not place French, English, or American 
capital, in industrial, urban, mining or maritime enterprises in 
Poland. 

IX. — If the German Government and the Austro-Hungarian 
Government consider it necessary to change completely their po- 
litical relations in regard to Poland, the Government of the Com- 
missioners of the People undertakes to recognise the new course of 
things and to defend it against the obstacles which might be opposed 
to it by the former Allies of Russia. 

The protocol has been signed by the persons mentioned above and 
three copies have been made, which have been compared with the 
original, and found in conformity to it, Jan. 15, 1918. No. 82/924,

Member of the Central 
Executive Committee of 
Councillors to the Depu-

People's Commissioner for 
Foreign Affairs: 

Grigory Tvanovich Petrov-

sioner for internal Affairs. 

The Plenipotentiaries met in 
Brest-Litovsk to enter into peace 
negotiations, and after presenta- 
tion of their credentials, and find- 
ing them in good and proper form, 
have agreed upon the following 
stipulations : 

Article I. 

German}', Austria-Hungary, 
Bulgaria, and Turkey, for the one 
part, and Russia, for the other 
part, declare that the state of 
war between them has ceased. 
They are resolved to live hence- 
forth in peace and amity with 
one another. 

Article II. 

The contracting parties will 
refrain from any agitation or 
propaganda against the Govern- 
ment or the public and military 
institutions of the other party. 
In so far as this obligation 
devolves upon Russia, it holds 
good also for the territories occu- 
pied by the Powers of the Quad- 
rtiple Alliance. 

Article III. 

The territories lying to the 
west of the line agreed upon by 
the contracting parties which for- 
merly belonged to Russia, will no 
longer be subject to Russian sov-

ereigiity; the line agreed upon is 
traced on the map submitted as 
an essential part of this treaty of 
peace (Annex 1). The exact fixa- 
tion of the hne will be established 
by a Russo-German commission. 

No obligations whatever toward 
Russia shall devolve upon the 
territories referred to, arising 
from the fact that they formerly 
belonged to Russia. 

Russia refrains from all inter- 
ference in the internal relations 
of these territories. Germany 
and Austria-Hungary purpose, to 
determine the future status of 
these territories in agreement 
with their population. 

Article IV. 

As soon as a general peace is 
concluded and Russian demobil- 
ization is carried out completely, 
Germany will evacuate the terri- 
tory lying to the east of the line 
designated in paragraph 1 of Ar- 
ticle III, in so far as Article VI 
does not determine otherwise. 

Russia will do all within her 
power to insure the immediate 
evacuation of the provinces of 
eastern Anatolia and their lawful 
return to Turke}". 

The districts of Erdehan, Kars, 
and Batum will likewise and with- 
out delay be cleared of the Rus- 
sian troops. Russia will not in- 
terfere in the reorganization of 
the national and international 
relations of these districts, but 
leave it to the population of these 
districts, to carry out this re- 
organization in agreement with 
the neighboring States, especially 
with Turkey. 

Article V. 

Russia will, without delay, 
carry out the full demobilization 
of her army inclusive of those 
units recent^ly organized by the 
present Government.

Furthermore, Russia will either 
bring her warships into Russian 
ports and there detain them until 
the day of the conclusion of a 
general peace, or disarm them 
forthwith. Warships of the 
States which continue in the state 
of war with the Powers of the 
Quadruple Alliance, in so far as 
they are within Russian sov- 
ereignty, will be treated as Rus- 
sian w^arships. 

The barred zone in the Arctic 
Ocean continues as such until the 
conclusion of a general peace. 
In the Baltic sea, and, as far as 
Russian power extends within the 
Black sea, removal of the mines 
will be proceeded with at once. 
Merchant navigation within these 
maritime regions is free and will 
be resumed at once. Mixed com- 
missions will be organized to 
formulate the more detailed regu- 
lations, especially to inform mer- 
chant ships with regard to re- 
stricted lanes. The navigation 
lanes are always to be kept free 
from floating mines.

Article VI. 

Russia obligates herself to 
conclude peace at once with the 
Ukrainian People's Republic and 
to recognize the treaty of peace 
between that State and the 
Powers of the Quadruple Alli- 
ance. The Ukrainian territory 
will, without delay, be cleared of 
Russian troops and the Russian 
Red Guard. Russia is to put an 
end to all agitation or propaganda 
against the Government or 
the public institutions of the 
Ukrainian People's Republic. 

Esthonia and Livonia will like- 
wise, without delay, be cleared of 
Russian troops and the Russian 
Red Guard. The eastern bound- 
ary of Esthonia rims, in o;eneral, 
along the river Narwa. The east- 
ern boundary of Livonia crosses, 
in general, lakes Peipus and Pskow,

to the southwestern corner of the 
latter, then across Lake Luban 
in the direction of Livenhof on 
the Dvina. Esthonia and Livo- 
nia will be occupied by a German 
police force until security is in- 
sured by proper national institu- 
tions and until public order has 
been established. Russia will lib- 
erate at once all arrested or de- 
ported inhabitants of Esthonia 
and Livonia, and insures the safe 
return of all deported Ethonians 
and Livonians. 

Fmland and the Aaland Islands 
will immediately be cleared of 
Russian troops and the Russian 
Red Guard, and the Finnish ports 
of the Russian fleet and of the 
Russian naval forces. So long as 
the ice prevents the transfer of 
warships into Russian ports, only 
limited forces will remain on 
board the warships. Russia is to 
put an end to all agitation or pro- 
paganda against the Government 
or the public institutions of Fin- 
land. 

The fortresses built on the 
Aaland Islands are to be removed 
as soon as possible. As regards 
the permanent non-fortification of 
these islands as well as their fur- 
ther treatment in respect to 
military and technical navigation 
matters, a special agreement is to 
be concluded between Germany, 
Finland, Russia, and Sweden; 
there exists an understanding to 
the efi^ect that, upon Germany's 
desire, still other countries border- 
ing upon the Baltic Sea would be 
consulted in this matter. 

Article VII. 

In view of the fact that Persia 
and Afghanistan are free and in- 
dependent States, the contracting 
parties obligate themselves to 
respect the political and economic 
independence and the temtorial 
integrity of these States.

The line prescribed in Article 
3 of the peace treaty with 
Russia, which in the west runs 
along Russian sovereignty, passes 
through the islands of Dago 
and Worms, between Mohn and 
the mainland, hetween the islands 
Riino and Kilno, and in seg- 
mental curve passing through the 
bay of Riga, reaches the main- 
land slightly to the northwest, 
[northeast] of the mouth of the 
Livonian Aa, then in continua- 
tion of the curve it passes around 
Riga and to the east [inesi] of 
Uxkiill (Oger Galle), crosses the 
Diina (Dvina). Then it follows 
the course of the Diina to the 
east of Dwinsk (Dunaberg) to 
the place where ended tlie for- 
mer Courland frontier, almost to 
Druja, and from this place it 
extends in a straiglit line south- 
tvesi crossing Strusty Lalce to the 
southern part of Lake Driswjaty, 
leaving the locality Driswjaty 
itself to the east of the line. 

From here the line bends in a 
south-southwest direction close 
to Mjelengjany on the German 
side. The localities Widsy and

Tweretsch remain east of the 
line. It crosses the railway line 
from Swenziany to Lyntupy upon 
midway. The line then passes 
along a stream by the localities 
Michalischki and Gerwjany, both 
of which are left to the west of 
the line, along the rivers Osch- 
mjanka and Loscha. The line 
itself in manifold windings 
reaches the railway from Wilna 
to Smorgon, which it crosses 
somewhat west of Slobodka. Hero 
the line hends, running straight to 
Klewisa- on the German side, by 
Oschmjany and Dsewenischki on 
the east, and Geranony on the 
west, along the rivers Opita and 
Gawja to the Niemen. 

The line now follows the down- 
ward course of the Niemen to 
a point above Mosty, and here 
it bends directly to the south 
into the river course of the Sel- 
wianka, which it follows to Ros- 
hany, which remains to the east 
of the line. From here it passes 
in a southwest direction {along 
the Temra) to the Ukrainian bor- 
der where Prushany is reached. 
From, here it passes between Boro- 
wiri (f) and Szolzhentiza {?), be- 
tween Koski ( f) and, Dobruschin (9) , 
and vjest of the road from Prushany 
to VidoTYil passes in straight line 
the bends of the river Liesna, 
leaving Vidoml on the Russian 
side. The line ends on the river 
Liesna north of Brest- Litovslc, 
Szmolienitza ( ?) and Bobruschin 
( ?) remain to the east of the line, 
Riga, Jacobstadt, DwinsTc, Svenz- 
jany, Vilna, Lida, Wolkowyslc , 
and Konstantinow on the Germnn 
side. 

An absolutely exact determina- 
tion of the line will be established 
through a Russo-German Com- 
mission.

[Translation. 



In regard to the economic rela- 
tions between Germany and Rus- 
sia the following is agreed upon : 

1. The Russo-German com- 
mercial treaty of 1894/1904 does 
not again take effect.^ 

The contracting parties obli- 
gate themselves to begin nego- 
tiations regarding the conclusion 
of a new commercial treaty as 
soon as possible after the conclu- 
sion of a general peace between 
Germany on the one hand, and 
the European countries at pres- 
ent at war with her and the 
United States of America and 
Japan on the other hand. 

2. Until such time, and in 
any case up to 31 December, 
1919, the regulations contained 
in this appendix, and constitu- 
ting an integral part of the pre- 
sent peace treaty, shall be made 
the basis of their mutual com- 
mercial relations. Both contrac- 
ting parties, are, however, free 
to repudiate these regulations 
after 30 June, 1919, on condition 
of giving six months notice. In 
case this right of repudiation is 
utilized before the 31 December, 
1922, then, until 31 December, 
1925, in case the denunciation 
ensues after 31 December, 1922,

Furthermore, in the course of 
this period, Russia shall neither 
prohibit the export of rough and 
hewn lumber, nor levy export 
duty on the same, in so far as 
it is not especially mentioned in 
No. 6 of the Scheilule of Export 
Duties; neither shall it prohibit 
the export of, or levy export 
duty on ores of any kind. 

4. Russia shall not claim the 
advantages which Germany 
grants to Austria-Hungary or to 
any other country allied with her 
by a customs union, and adjoin- 
ing Germany either immediately 
or through an intervening coun- 
try allied with her or with 
Austria - Hungar}'^ by customs 
union. Colonies, outlying pos- 
sessions and territories under pro- 
tectorate, in this respect are 
placed on the same basis as the 
mother country. 

Germany shall not claim the 
advantages which Russia grants 
to another country connected 
with her by customs union, and 
adjoining Russia either imme- 
diately, or through an intervening 
country allied with her by cus- 
toms union, or to the colonies, 
outlying posessions or territories 
under the protectorate of a country 
allied with her by customs union. 

5. In so far as in neutral coun- 
tries there are located goods 
originating in Germany or Russia 
and subject to prohibition of im- 
port into the territory of the other 
contracting party eitlier directl}'' 
or through the intermedium of 
another country, such limitations 
as to the disposition of such goods 
shall be cancelled as regards the 
contracting parties. Both con- 
tracting parties, therefore, obli- 
gate themselves immediately to 
advise the Governments of neu- 
tral countries of the above-stated 
cancellations of the limitations 
mentioned.

countries in the form of conces- 
sions or other state measures, 
must be revoked or extended to 
the opposite party by granting

7. In so far as in the tariff ap- 
pendix A, or elsewhere, there are 
no stipulations to the contrary, 
the general Russian Customs Tar- 
iff of the 13/26 January, 1903/ 
shall be applied for the whole pe- 
riod of life of the present proviso- 
rium as well as of the most-favored 
nation treatment granted both by 
Clause 2. 

8. The agreements which ex- 
isted betM'een the German Empire 
and Russia on 31 July, 1914, in 
regard to Russian sugar shall re- 
main in force during the life of the 
present provisorium and during 
the mutual application of the most 
favored nation principle in accord- 
ance with Clause 2. 

9. The contracting parties are 
agreed that, with the conclusion 
of pe^ice, the war terminates also 
in the field of econom}^ and 
finance. They engage not to 
participate either directly or 
indirectly in measures having for 
their aim the continuance of hos- 
tilities in economic or financial 
spheres, but to hinder such meas- 
ures within the boundaries of the 
territories of their State by all 
means in their power. 

In the course of the interme- 
diate period required for the re- 
moval of the consequences of war 
and for the organization of new 
relations, the -contracting parties 
bind themselves -not to put, in so 
far as it is possible, any difhcul- 
ties in the way of the acquisition 
of necessary goods by introduc- 
ijig high import duties, and they 
express their willingness to enter 
immediately into negotiations for 
the purpose of maintaining and 
enlarging as far as feasible the 
customs exemptions established 
durins the time of the war.

[Tra7islation.] 

Article 1. 

The subjects of one of the con- 
tracting parties, who have settled 
on the territory of the opposite 
party or reside temporarily in the 
same, shall enjoy, in their com- 
mercial and industrial activities, 
the same rights as the native in- 
habitants, and shall not be sub- 
jected to higher or to other taxes. 
In the territory of the other 
party they, in all respects, shall 
enjoy the same rights, privileges, 
franchises, advantages, and ex- 
emptions as the subjects of the 
most favored nation. 

Both parties are, however, 
agreed that special laws, decrees, 
and orders, relating to trade, 
commerce, industry, and police, 
which govern or will govern in 
either of the contracting coun- 
tries, and which apply to all for- 
eigners, will not be affected by 
these considerations. 

Article 2. 

The subjects of both contract- 
ing parties shall have the right, 
on the territory of the other 
party, on a basis of equality with 
the native inhabitants, to acquire, 
to possess, and to manage mov- 
able and immovable property of 
every kind, as well as to dispose

of the same in the way of sale, 
exchange, gift, matrimony, legacy, 
or any other method, as well as 
to receive inheritances through 
will or on the basis of the law, 
without being subjected in any 
of the cases mentioned, in one 
way or another, to higher dues, 
taxes, or collection than native 
inhabitants. 

Each of the contracting parties 
reserves the right to make excepy 
tions to these stipulations for 
those parts of their respective 
territories which have been de- 
clared frontier districts or for- 
tress regions. 

However, in none of these cases 
above mentioned shall the sub- 
jects of one of the parties in 
the territory of the other party, 
be placed in a less favorable con- 
dition than the subjects of any 
third country. 

The subjects of both contract- 
ing parties may, provided they 
observe the laws of the country, 
takeout, mihindered, the proceeds 
of the sale of their property, and, 
in general, their belongings, with- 
out being obliged, in their capac- 
ity as foreigners, to pay special 
or higher dues than native inhab- 
itants in the same circumstances. 

Subject to the local laws, they 
shall have free admission to law 
courts, where they may appear as 
claimants or defendants, and shall 
enjoy in this respect all rights and 
immunities of native inhabitants, 
and also, like the latter, they shall 
have the right to employ in every 
law suit the attorneys and agents 
admitted under the local laws. 

Article 3. 

The subjects of each of the 
contracting parties, in the terri- 
tory of the opposite party, shall 
not be subject to juridical, ad- 
mmistrative, or municipal duties, 
with the exception of guardian- 
ships. They are likewise exempt

which are liable the native in- 
habitants and the subjects of the 
most favored nation in their 
capacity of proprietors and lessees

Article 4. 

Joint stock companies and any 
other commercial, industrial, or 
fuiancial companies, including in- 
surance companies, which have 
been lawfully formed m one of 
the two countries in accordance 
with existing laws, and have their 
abode there, must be recognized 
by the other country as exist- 
ing lawfully and shall, in particu- 
lar, enjoy in the same the right 
to conduct lawsuits in the courts 
in the capacity of claimants or 
defendants. 

Both parties, however, agree that 
the foregoing stipulation does not 
affect the question whether such 
companies, formed in one of the ' 
countries, shall be admitted, or 
Qot, to commercial or industrial 
activity in the other country. 
This question depends as hereto- 
fore, on the regulations already 
existing or to be introduced in 
the country in question. 

In any case, the aforesaid com- 
panies shall enjoy in the other 
country the same rights as have 
been granted or may be granted 
to similar companies of any other 
country.

Article 5. 

The contracting parties obli- 
gate themselves not to impede 
the mutual relations of the two 
countries by any prohibitions of 
import, export, or transit, and to 
permit free transit. 

Exception.s are only admissible 
for such articles as are or will 
be considered a State monopoly 
in the territory of one of the con- 
tracting parties, as also for cer- 
tain articles respecting which ex- 
ceptional prohibitional rules may 
be issued for reasons of hygiene, 
veterinary supervision, and public 
safety, or for other vreighty 
political or economic reasons, 
especially in connection with the 
after-war transition period. 

During the after-war transition 
period, for the purpose of over- 
coming the consequences of the 
war, regulations may be issued 
limiting intercourse, as well as 
prohibiting import, export, and 
transit: they must be enforced 
in such manner as to be felt as 
slightly as possible, and as soon 
as circumstances permit, they 
must be rescinded.

duction of import duties of the 
general and conventional tariffs, 
which one of the contracting 
parties, permanently or tempo- 
rarily, without a corresponding 
benefit or against compensations, 
grants to a third country, shall be 
granted to the products of agri- 
culture and industry of the other 
country without further formality 
and without any conditions, reser- 
vations, or compensations. 

Article 7. 

The products of German agri- 
culture and industry mentioned 
in the appended Tariff A, on being 
imported into Russia, and the 
products of Russian agriculture 
and industry, specified in the ap- 
pended Tariff B, when being im- 
ported into Germany, shall not 
be subjected to any special or 
higher import duty than that 
stipulated in the said appendi'- es. 

Should one of the contracting 
parties assess any of the articles 
of domestic production or manu- 
facture specified in appendices A 
or B, for the benefit of the State 
Exchequer b}^ means of any new 
internal tax or excise, or addi- 
tion to such internal tax or excise, 
similar articles when being im- 
ported may be taxed with an 
equal or corresponding duty on 
condition that this duty shall be 
the same for the products of all 
countries. 

Article 8. 

Internal duties, which are now 
being levied or may be levied 
hereafter in the territory of one 
of the contracting parties for 
account of the State, of commit- 
tees, or of societies, for the pro- 
duction, preparation, forwarding,

may be levied on similar articles 
of the other party, but under no 
pretext at a higher rate or in a 
more oppressive fashion than on 
the produce of the home country. 
In so far as internal duties are 
levied on raw materials and half 
finished products, the making of 
a suitable tax agreement for the 
importation of such products 
made from such raw materials and 
half finished products shall be ad- 
missible, even in case similar home 
products are not taxed directly. 

Each of the contracting parties 
is at liberty, for the purpose of 
ot^taining national income, to 
establish a monopoly on suitable 
articles, or to subject the same 
to regulations analogous to a 
monopoly. In this case the fore- 
going regidations are made corre- 
spondingly applicable. 

Article 9. 

In exporting goods from either 
of the two countries into the 
other, no other nor higher export 
duties shall be levied than those 
levied on exports into the most 
favored country. Furthermore, 
any advantage granted on exports 
of one of the contracting parties to 
a third country is automatically 
and unconditionally extended to 
the other party. 

Article 10. 

Goods of any kind, passing 
through the territory of either 
of the parties, shall reciprocally 
be exempt from any transit 
dues, irrespective of whether they 
go through immediately or be 
unloaded while in transit, ware- 
housed, and then reloaded. 

Article 11. 

The stipulations of the present 
agreement do not affect:

samples of any kind, but not 
goods. Articles, liable to duty, 
which are brought in by the 
above mentioned persons, are ex- 
empted, by both parties, from 
both import and export duties, 
but on condition that, in case 
these articles are not sold, they 
be taken out again within a year's 
time, and that there be no doubt 
as to the identity of the articles 
brought in and taken out again. 
It is immaterial through which 
custom house the goods are taken 
out. 

The taking out of samples of 
merchandise must be guaranteed, 
when imported, b}' making a de- 
posit of the amount of the re- 
spective customs duty, or by some 
other guarantees. 

The contracting parties will 
inform each other as to what 
authorities are entitled to issue 
certificates for the privilege of 
engaging in industrial enterprises, 
of the form which these certifi- 
cates will take, and the rules 
which the travelers must re- 
serve during the time of their in- 
dustrial activities. 

The subjects of either of the 
contracting parties, going into 
the territory of the other to visit 
fairs and bazaars, to trade or to 
sell their products, are mutually 
placed, by both parties, in the 
same position as the native in- 
habitants and shall not be sub- 
jected to higher dues. 

Article 13. 

In regard to mutual safe- 
guarding of author's rights as re- 
gards literary, artistic, or photo- 
graphic products, the stipulations 
of the agreement concluded be- 
tween the German Empire and 
Russia under date of 28 February 
1913, shall apply in the relations 
between Germany and Russia.

guarding of trade-marks, the stip-

ulations of the declaration of 23/1 1 
July, 1873/ shall govern also in 
the future. 

Article 14. 

German vessels and their car- 
goes in Russia, as well as Russian 
vessels and their cargoes in Ger- 
many, shall be placed on the same 
footing as local ships and cargoes, 
regardless of where the vessel 
sailed from or whither bound, 
regardless also of the origin or 
destination of their cargoes. 

Every prerogative and every 
immunity whicli may be granted 
by one of the contracting parties 
to a third country, shall be ex- 
tended automatically and uncon- 
ditionally to the other party. 

However, exception is made 
from the foregoing stipulations: 

a) In regard to those special 
privileges which, in either coun- 
try, now exist, or may be granted 
in the future, to the home 
fisheries and their produce: 

h) In regard to the privileges 
granted now or in the future to 
the national merchant fleet. 

The stipulations of the present 
agreement do not apply to coast- 
wise shipping which, as hereto- 
fore, shall be regulated in both 
countries by existing or future 
laws. However, in any case 
German and Russian vessels shall 
be permitted to sail from a port 
of one of the contracting parties 
to one or more ports of the same 
country, whether for complete or 
partial discharge of the cargo 
brought from abroad, or for taking 
on or completing a cargo destined 
for abroad. 



Article 15. 

The nationality of vessels is 
recognized by both parties in 
accordance with the laws and

contracting parties, shall be recog- 
nized by the other party in ac- 
cordance with special agreements

Article 16. 

German vessels, arriving at a 
Russian port, and on the other 
hand, Russian vessels arriving at 
a German port, merely for the 
purpose of completing their cargo 
there, or for partially discharging 
the same, may retain and bring 
out again a definite part of the 
cargo destined for another port 
of the same country or for an- 
other country on condition that 
they observe the laws and regu- 
lations of the country in question; 
in this case they are not obliged 
to pay any dues for this part 
of their cargo with the exception 
of the inspection fees, which 
shall, however, be levied only at 
the rate established for local 
vessels. 

Article 17. 

From tonnage dues and clear- 
ance fees are wholly exempt in 
the ports of either country: 

1. Vessels arriving from any 

place in ballast and

the two countries into 
one or more harbors of 
the same country, can

effected any trade. 

This exemption shall not ex- 
tend to lighthouse, pilotage, tow- 
ing, quarantine, or other dues 
which are payable on the vessel 
for services rendered or apparatus 
used, and which are established 
in the interest of traffic, and 
which are equally payable by 
native ships, and by those belong- 
ing to the most favored nation. 

If a vessel came to the port 
through necessity, the unloading 
and reloading of merchandise 
necessitated by repairs to the ship, 
the transferring of cargo into 
another vessel on account of the 
unworthiness of the former, the 
purchases of necessary provisions 
for the crew, the sale of deter- 
iorated goods with the consent 
of the customs authorities, shall 
not be considered as a commer- 
cial transaction. 

Article 18. 

In case a vessel of one of the 
contracting parties is stranded or 
wrecked on the coast of the other 
country, the vessel, as well as the 
cargo, shall enjoy the same ad- 
vantages and immunities which 
the laws of the respective coun- 
tries extend to its own vessels in 
similar circumstances. All aid 
and assistance shall be given to 
the master and to the crew, as 
regards their persons, the ship, and 
the cargo. 

The contracting parties are 
further agreed that salvaged goods 
shall not be subject to customs 
duties unless intended for local 
consumption. 

Article 19.

thoroughfares, canals, locks, fer- 
ries, bridges, and bridge openings,

and so forth, in so far as tliese 
constructions or institutions are 
intended for general communica- 
tion and for public traffic and 
trade in general, irrespective of 
whether they are managed by the 
State, or by private persons with 
the consent of the State, shall be 
granted to the subjects of the 
other contracting party on the 
same conditions and against pay- 
ment of equal dues as to the sub- 
jects of the home country. 

With the exception of devia- 
tions permissible in regard to 
lighthouses and pilots, these dues 
shall only be levied if the above 
mentioned constructions and in- 
stitutions have actually been 
utilized. 

Article 20. 

Both contracting parties re- 
serve the right to establish their 
own railwa}^ tariffs at their own 
discretion. 

However, neither in respect to 
freight rates nor in respect to the 
time and method of forwarding 
shall any difference be made 
between the subjects of either 
contracting party. Especially on 
consignments of goods coming 
from Russia and destined for a 
German station, or passing 
thi'ough Germany in transit, no 
higher rates shall be levied on 
German railways than on similar 
German or foreign products going 
in the same direction and on the 
same section of the road. The 
same shall apply on Russian rail- 
ways for consignments of goods 
from Germany destined for Rus- 
sian stations or passing through 
Russia in transit. 

Exceptions from the foregoing 
stipulations shall be admissible 
only in so far as consignments at 
reduced rates for public or chari- 
table purposes are concerned.

To Articles 1 and 12. 

In regard to passports th& 
subjects of both countries are 
placed on a footing with the most 
favored nation. 

Tlie passport vise in Russia 
holds good for six months. 

Tlie decision includes the vise 
of the passports of German com- 
mercial travelers of the Hebrew 
faith. 

The fee for issuing foreign pass- 
ports to Germans living in Russia 
is not to exceed 50 Copecks. Rus- 
sia will in the future also grant a 
term of 28 days for the validity of 
legitimation certificates available 
within the limits of a 'frontier zone 
30 kilometers wide, allowing the 
bearers the right of repeatedly 
crossing the frontier at different 
points as at present. This term 
will be reckoned by both parties 
from the day on which the cer- 
tificate is first used for crossing 
the frontier, but the certificates 
expire if not used for the first 
time at the latest within fifteen 
days after the date of issue. This 
term of 28 days is in no way af- 
fected by the beginning of a new 
year during the time for which the 
certificate is available. These cer- 
tificates, which slrall be issued in 
two languages, German and Rus- 
sian, are to be given by either 
country only to its own subjects 
and to such subjects of the other 
State who reside in the country 
in vrhich the certificate is issued. 



The day on which the frontier 
is crossed will in future be 
marked on the certificate by 
both Russian and German au- 
thorities, according to both the 
Russian and German calendar. 

Certificates will be given in fu- 
ture, as at present, both to 
Christians and Hebrews.

Each contracting parties will 
allow its subjects to pass tempo- 
rarily to the territory of the other 
party for agricultural and indus- 
trial purposes and will raise no 
obstacles particularly as regards 
passport .regulations. The rep- 
resentatives of organizations under 
state inspection which are estab- 
lished in the territory of one 
party to act as agencies for en- 
listing such workmen, and re- 
garding which the government of 
this party will notify the govern- 
ment of the other party, are 
without further formalities ad- 
mitted within the territory of the 
latter and may exercise without 
hindrance their functions as 
agents. 

Russian workmen entering Ger- 
many for agricultural or other 
kindred occupations, shall be 
provided as heretofore, free of 
charge, with legitimation papers 
valid from 1 Februar}^ to 20 De- 
cember, new style. 

These papers also shall be writ- 
ten in the Russian and German 
languages. 

To Article 3. 

In so far as the subjects of a 
third State, on the strength of 
existing treaties and agreements, 
are exempt in Russia from guard- 
ianship, German subjects in 
Russia shall enjoy the same 
privilege in respect to guardian- 
ship of non-German minors. 

To Article 5. 

Veterinary measures intro- 
duced by the German Govern- 
ment with regard to Russian im- 
port may not be applied more 
strictly than with regard to 
States which, in respect to con- 
tagious diseases of animals and 
in respect to veterinary institu- 
tions, are in the same condition 
as Russia.

This regulation does not apply 
to agreements relative to veteri- 
nary measures between Germany 
and Austria-Hungary. 

The number of live pigs, which 
according to existing regulations 
may be imported into upper Si- 
lesia is increased to twenty-five 
hundred per week. 

Meat, which by the German 
Meat Inspection Law of 3 June, 
1900, is considered as dressed, 
is allowed to be imported into 
Germany in accordance with reg- 
ulations of the law referred to. 

The concessions stipulated in 
paragraphs 3 and 4 preceding, 
may be temporarily suspended or 
revoked, if this is necessitated by 
extraordinary considerations aris- 
ing from veterinary supervision. 

To Articles 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10. 

Whereas in Russia at the present 
time certain goods are subject to 
higher customs duty, when im- 
ported across the land frontier, 
than when imported by the Baltic 
Sea, the parties are agreed that 
from the day of the coming into 
force of the present treaty, the 
duties on imports across the land 
frontier shall be reduced to con- 
form with the rates of duty on 
imports by the Baltic Sea and that 
no new tariff be introduced dis- 
criminating in favor of imports by 
sea. 

The German Government on 
its part binds itself not to intro- 
duce on any frontier of the Ger- 
man Empire different or more 
favorable customs duties than on 
its eastern frontier. 

To Article 6. 

The German Federal Council 
will not avail itself at any time 
during the life of the present 
treaty of its prerogative to re- 
voke the permission given for 
establishing mixed warehouses

er which are transported through 
the territory of one of the con- 
tracting parties, are imported

ploy, the latter shall be provided 
with special personal trade cer- 
tificates, the fee for which must 
not exceed 50 Roubles for a whole 
year or 25 Roubles for the sec- 
ond half of a 3^ear. 

Trade certificates, provided for 
by paragraph 1 of the present 
regulation, may be issued in the 
names of persons going to Russia, 
and in this case such persons do 
not need to provide themselves 
with personal trade certificates. 

With the issuing trade certifi- 
cates and the collecting of fees for 
same, no distinction will be made 
between those professing the 
Christian and. the Hebrew relig- 
ions. 

In so far as the importation of 
firearms into Russia is not pro- 
liibited, German merchants may 
bring with them samples of such 
weapons, but only under the ex- 
press condition that these mer- 
chants submit to all general and 
local regulations which are or will 
be in force rescardino; firearms.

of passeno-ers as well as raftino; 
under tlie same conditions as the 
natives themselves. 

German vessels bound for Rus- 
sia on inland waterways which 
connect both countries, intending 
to return to Germany, are admit- 
ted into Russia without having to 
pay import duty or making a 
deposit as security for same. 

The time within wiiich such 
vessels must return to Germany 
is two years from the day of their 
arrival in Russia,. Should a ves- 
sel be sold in Russia or remain 
there more than two years, the 
corresponding import duty must 
be paid. Should the vessel be de- 
tained, owing to circumstances 
beyond the captain's control, such 
aslowwaterlevel, average demand- 
ing considerable repairs, and other 
similar reasons, the above-men- 
tioned period must be extended. 
Import duties are not levied 
should the vessel be lost tlu'ough 
fire or ^\Teck. 

No fees shall be paid for cer- 
tificates stipulating the re-exit of 
vessels or payment of import du- 
ties. 

The certificate of the ship's 
gauge will be deposited with the 
Russian customs authorities for 
the term of the vessel's stay in 
Russia. 

To Article 20. 

The contracting parties will 
support each other, as far as pos- 
sible, in the question of railroad 
tariffs, in particular by means of 
establishing tlu'ough freight tar- 
iffs. Such tlu'ough freight tariffs 
should be established to facilitate 
the export from Russia, as well as 
the import to Russia, in accord- 
ance with the demands of trade, 
particularly regarding the Gorman 
ports, Danzig (Neufalii'wasser), 
Konigsberg (PiUau), and Memel.

In respect to the articles which 
in the Russian raih'oad tarift are 
classified under grain, also in re- 
gard to flax, hemp, and wood, 
freight tariffs from Russian sta- 
tions of departure to the above- 
named ports shall be drawn up 
and distributed among German 
and Russian railways participat- 
ing in the transportation, in ac- 
cordance with the present regu- 
lations regarding Russian rail- 
ways leading to the ports of 
Libau and Riga, or such regula- 
tions as may be subsequently in- 
troduced. The same holds good 
in the case of re-forwarding. 
Extra charges which may be col- 
lected in addition to the freight 
tariff rates shall be drawn up in the 
same manner and the total, in 
agreenrent with Russian regula- 
tions, shall be divided among tlie 
railroads concerned ; in this connec- 
tion, an agreement has been ar- 
rived at, to the effect that only 
one frontier tax shall be collected, 
divided equally between the Rus- 
sian and German lines leading to 
the frontier. 

Tlie special provisions for regu- 
lating competition between Ko- 
nigsberg and Danzig wliich are 
now in force shall remain so. 

Tariff favors granted on Ger- 
man or Russian railways to goods 
imported by sea, must, at the de- 
mand of the interested Govern- 
ment, be granted by railways 
leading from the frontier to simi- 
lar products over the rail stretch 
from the frontier station to the 
receivmg station. In this case the 
extent of the favors granted per 
kilometei or per verst in traffic 
across the inland frontier, should 
be the same as in traffic through 
sea ports. 



No distinction, especially in 
respect to tariff rates, is to be made 
in regard to the nationality of the

importing vessels of the contract- 
ing parties, in case the imported 
goods are further transported by 
rail or by inland waterways. 



The Russian Government will 
see to it that railway freight tariffs, 
for transportation from Russia to 
Germany of phosphorites and 
other phosphates, as well as ores, 
in force until 1 August, 1914, 
should not be increased to a 
greater extent than corresponds 
to the general average increase of 
the Russian railway tariffs in 
proportion to distances in the 
same way as these were used as 
a basis of the tariffs in question 
prior to 1 August /19 July, 1914. 
At the request of the German 
Government, the sea tariffs will 
be applied to new stations of 
departure and destination. 

The contracting parties agree, 
that in regard to railway matters, 
mutual traffic relations between 
Germany and Russia shall be the 
same as before the war, and that 
disadvantages, which might result 
from the subdivision of the Rus- 
sian railway system into independ- 
ent railway systems, will be as far 
as possible removed. To this end 
both parties are prepared to con- 
cur in a convention, binding on 
the railways of Germa"ny, Russia, 
and the States and administered 
territories which have detached 
themselves from the Russian Em- 
pire, to regulate in this sense the 
stipulations contained in Article 
20 of the present treaty and in 
this concluding protocol, and es- 
pecially to reestablish the con- 
tinuity of railway tariffs, existing 
before the war, for communica- 
tion with the ports of the Baltic 
Sea, the Black and the Azoff 
Seas.

§ 1. 

Authorization to consign goods 
under customs control to other 
custom houses is extended by both 
parties to all custom houses of the 
first class, which have no railroad 
communications with the offices 
having warehouses. It is stipu- 
lated, however, that such con- 
signments remain subject to perti- 
nent laws and regulations. 

§2. 

Both parties agree that the 
custom houses of both countries 
shall remain open every day of 
the year, except Sundays and 
legal holidays. 

§3. 

The time tables of office hours 
shall be posted in the custom 
houses of both countries. 

Office hours for examination of 
passports and legitimation cards 
shall be fixed for each district and 
for each frontier crossing, by special 
agreement between the respective 
departments of the two coun- 
tries. Both parties shall appoint 
the same hours, taking into 
account local needs, and in cus- 
tom houses of the third class, in 
supplementary custom houses, 
and at frontier crossings, a recess 
shall be granted for the em- 
ployees' meals. 

§4. 

Merchandise liable to customs 
duty, imported by persons having 
a duly executed permit to cross 
the frontier, may be declared 
orally in both countries and at all 
custom houses within the limits 
of their competency, provided the 
merchandise is not imported for

the purpose of trade and that the 
suni due as customs duty does not 
exceed: 

Fifteen Roubles for imports 

to Russia; and 
Thirty-five Marks for imports 
to Germany. 
Transfer offices are hereby em- 
powered to clear foodstuffs (with 
the exception of brandy and other 
spirituous liquors) as well as 
articles exclusively intended for 
household use. 



§5. 

Without derogating from spe- 
cial regulations regarding river 
craft, vehicles of every kind to- 
gether with their accessories, 
which during their importation 
serve to carry passengers or 
goods, and which are only for this 
purpose temporarily brought into 
Russia by persons known to the 
Russian or German customs au- 
thorities, are admitted by Rus- 
sian authorities free of dues and 
without depositing security for 
such duty, if the carrier obligates 
himself to reexport the same 
within a specified time. The ob- 
ligation to this effect, which must 
be in writing, shall be made out 
free of charge. 

§6. 

No special declaration of goods 
imported into Russia by land is 
necessary, if the goods are accom- 
panied by a way bill. In such in- 
stances it is sufficient to present 
the way bill to the Customs 
Officer at the time of entry. The 
number of horses and vehicles in 
a transport as well as the total of 
way bills and packages are en- 
tered on one of the way bills, 
which entry is then signed by the 
head driver.

§7. 

Flowers and living plants, fresh 
fruit, and fresh fish, as well as all 
rapidly perisliable goods, shall 
except wiien prevented by force 
majeure, be cleared by both parties 
inside of 24 hours after arrival of 
the goods at the customs ware- 
houses. 

§8. 

The charges for affixing identi- 
fication marks to tlie goods are 
not to exceed 5% of the customs 
duty. 

The cliarges for afhxing identi- 
fication seals in the case of but- 
tons, ribbons, lace, embroideries, 
and furs are not to exceed 1 Co- 
peck for each seal. The total 
charge in each individual case for 
sealing is not to exceed 5% of 
tlie amount of the import duty. 

But if tlie interested person 
wishes that the merchandise 
should be sealed in a manner ex- 
ceeding the needs of identifica- 
tion, the said person is bomid to 
pay the additional charge thereby 
incurred. 

Tlie stamping of German gold 
and silver ware is not liable to 
higlier or special charges than the 
stamping of similar articles of 
home production. 

§ 9. 

Storage on imported goods shall 
be collected by the Russian cus-

Rye 

Wheat and spelt 

Barley, excepting malt-barley 

Note. — The following are rated as other than 
"malt-barley" and are to be admitted at reduced 
customs duty. 

1. At entrance through definite cistoms offices to 

which are granted special authorization — 
barley which, in the pui'e, unmixed state 
and awnless, weighs less than 6.5 kg. per hec- 
tolitre, and which, at the same time, does 
not contain more than 30 % grain the weight 
of which registers 67 kg. or more per hecto- 
litre. 

2. Barley which is proven to be unfit for the prep- 

aration of malt, or proven not to be intended 
, for such end. 

In case the accuracy of the results obtained by 
the inspection specified under paragraph 1 is con- 
tested by the importer, or in case, in consequence 
of the peculiar constitution of the shipment- pre- 
sented for clearance, groimds for suspicion should 
arise regarding the use of the barley," the customs 
office is I'equired to admit the barley at the reduced 
duty only after having rendered it unfit for use in 
preparing malt. This operation may, at the 
pleasure of the customs office, be effected through 
rough-grinding, blunting, breaking the grain or by 
any other similar process. It is understood, how- 
ever, that recourse to such a process is free of cost 
to the importer.

Georgi Vassilliovich Tclii- 
tcherin, Assistant of the 
People's Commissioner for 
Foreign Affairs; and 
Grigory Ivanovich Petrov- 
sky, People's Commis- 
sioner for Internal Affairs, 
have agreed to settle forthwith 
the reestablishment of public and 
private legal relations between 
Germany and Russia, and the 
exchange of war prisoners and 
interned civilians, provision for 
repatriates, the amnesty to be 
issued by reason of the conclusion 
of peace, and the treatment of 
merchant ships which have come 
into the power of the opponent, 
and to that end to conclude 
an additional treaty to the Peace 
Treaty. 

After the plenipotentiaries had 
established that the powers which 
they had submitted at the sig- 
nature of the Peace Treaty in- 
clude the settlement of the ob- 
jects hereinbefore indicated, they 
agreed upon the following stipu- 
lations. 

FIRST CHAPTER. 

resuiviption of diplomatic and 
consular relations. 

Article 1. 

Upon the resumption of con- 
sular relations, in accordance 
with Article X of the Peace 
Treaty,eachcontrac ting party will 
admit the consuls of the other 
party to all parts of its territory, 
provided that already before the 
war exceptions did not exist 
with regard to places or terri- 
torial regions of mixed languages, 
and provided that these excep- 
tions will, after the war, apply 
equally to any third Power: 

Each party reserves unto itself, 
for reasons of military necessity, 
to admit to certain places con- 
suls of the other party only after 
the conclusion of the general 
peace.

Article 2. 

Each contracting party will 
make compensation for all losses 
which have been caused during 
the war by local public organs or 
by the population, through acts 
contrary to international law 
against the diplomatic and con- 
sular officials of the other party 
or against the buildings of the 
embassy and consulate of this 
party or against its property. 

SECOND CHAPTER. 

reestablishment of political 
treaties. 

Article 3. 

The treaties, conv(^ntions, and 
agreements which were in force 
between the contracting parties 
before the declaration of war go 
again into force after the ratifi- 
cation of the Peace Treaty and of 
this additional treaty with the 
reservation of contrary stipula- 
tions, on the condition that, in 
so far as they cannot be de- 
nounced for a definite time, such 
period of time will be extended 
to the duration of the war. 

Article 4. 

Each contracting party may, 
within the six months after the 
signature of the Peace Treaty, 
communicate to the other party 
treaties, conventions, or agree- 
ments, or their special provisions 
which in its opinion are in con- 
tradiction to the changes that 
have taken place during the war. 
Such treaty provisions shall, as 
soon as possible, be replaced 
through new treaties meeting the

the six months following the 
ratification of the peace treaty. 
In case this commission does not 
reach an agreement within the 
three months following its meet- 
ing, each party is free to with- 
draw from the treaty provisions 
which, according to paragraph 1, 
clause 1, it has communiQated 
to the other party; in case this 
concerns special provisions, the 
other party has the right to 
withdraw from the entire treaty. 

Article 5. 

The treaties, conventions, and 
agreements in which, besides the 
contracting parties, third powers 
take part, go again into force 
between the two parties, with the 
reservation of contrary provi- 
sions of the Peace Treaty, upon 
the latter's ratification. vSpecial 
treaties between the two parties 
and connected with such collec- 
tive treaties are not affected by 
the provision of Article 3 con- 
cerning the extension of the 
validity, nor by Article 4 anent 
the rejection of treaties. 

As regards collective treaties 
of a political nature in which 
other belligerent powers also take 
part, the two parties reserve unto 
themselves their attitude till after 
the conclusion of the general 
peace. 

THIRD CHAPTER. 

REESTABLISHMEXT OF PRIVATE 
RIGHTS. 

Article 6. 

All provisions in force within 
the territory of a contracting 
party, by which, because of the 
state of war, the nationals of the 
other party are subject to special 
regulations '(war laws) with re- 
gard to their private rights, go 
out of force upon the ratification 
of the present treaty.

Juridical persons and societies 
which have their seat within the 
territor}'- of a contracting party, 
are also regarded as nationals of 
that contracting party. And, fur- 
thermore, juridical persons and 
societies which have not their seat 
within the territory of a contract- 
ing party are to be regarded as on 
a par with the nationals of this 
party, in so far as within the ter- 
ritory of the other party they were 
subject to the regulations applying 
to the nationals of the latter party. 

Article 7. 

Concerning private legal debt 
relations, which have been af- 
fected by the laws of war, the 
following has been agreed upon. 

§ 1. 

Debt relations will be reestab- 
lished, provided it is not other- 
wise specified in the provisions of 
Articles 7 to 11. 

§ 2. 

The provision of § 1 does not 
prevent the question as to what 
influence the circumstances crea- 
ted by the war, especially the im- 
possibility of fulfillment brought 
about by hindrances in transpor- 
tation or commercial prohibitions, 
exert upon debt relations, from 
being decided within the territory 
of each contracting party accord- 
ing to the laws applicable to aU 
the inhabitants of the country. 

In these circumstances, the. 
nationals of the other party who 
have been restricted through 
measures of this party may not 
be treated less favorably than the 
nationals of the respective State 
who were restricted through the 
measures of that party. Even 
the one whom the war prevented 
from fulfilling an obligation in 
due time shall not be obligated 
to make compensation for the 
losses occasioned thereby.

ment was due, for the duration 
of the war and the additional six

unto themselves to agree upon 
more detailed provisions in the 
field of the laws anent drafts and 
checks as well as monetary trans- 
actions.

standing debts and other private 
legal obligations, the national

Article 9. 

Concerning copyi'ight, and in- 
dustrial patents, concessions, and 
privileges as well as similar 
claims based upon public law and 
which have been prejudiced by 
war laws, the following is agreed 
upon. 

§1. 

The rights indicated in the 
beginning of this article are re- 
established unless otherwise pro- 
vided for in Article 11. 

The owner of the right is re- 
leased from the dues owed for the 
time when he was deprived of his 
rights, or in case he has already 
paid such dues, they are to be 
returned to liim ; in case the State 
has derived profit tlu-ough the use 
of his rights by third parties and 
such profit exceeds the dues, the 
surplus is then to be paid to the 
owner of the right. In so far as 
the State has made use of rights 
which have been conveyed to it, 
the owner of the right is to be 
aderpiately compensated. • 

§2. 

Each contracting party will ex- 
tend to the citizens of the other 
party a term of not less than one 
year from the ratification of the 
Peace Treaty, in order to allow 
them to take necessary action, 
provided this does not violate the 
legally appropriated rights of 
third parties to establish or to 
maintain an industrial patent, in 
case the legal term given for such 
action has been allowed to elapse 
owing to the war. 

Industrial patents of tlie na- 
tionals of one party shall not be 
forfeited within tlie territory of 
the other party on account of 
their non-exploitation before the 
expiration 01 four years after the 
ratification.

ers of war receive the private 
property taken from them by the 
authorities of the capturing State, 
as well as the part of their earn- 
ings not yet paid or credited to 
them; this obligation does not 
refer to written documents of 
military contents. 

§3. 

Each contracting party will re- 
imburse the expenses incurred by 
the other party for its nationals 
who have been made prisoners of 
war, in so far as the ex])enditures 
are not to be regarded as bal- 
anced by the work of the war 
prisoners in State or private in- 
stitutions. 

Payment is made in the cur- 
rency of the capturing State in 
partial amounts for each 50,000 
war prisoners, and in every case 
within one week after their re- 
lease. 

§4.

the execution of the agreements 
reached. 

Further, the Commission will 
establish the expenditures for war 
prisoners which are to be reim- 
bursed by both parties in accord- 
ance with § 3. If within two 
months after its meeting no agree- 
ment should have been reached 
in regard to this matter, it shaU 
then be finally settled by a ma- 
jority of votes with the assistance 
of a neutral umpire ; as to the des- 
ignation of the umpire, a request 
would be addressed to that end to 
the President of the Swiss Federal 
Council.

sible and without expense, in so 
far as they do not desire, with the 
consent of the State in which they 
sojourn, to remain within the 
latter's territory or to betake 
themselves into another country. 

The agreements adopted in St. 
Petersburg anent the return home 
of the civilian nationals will be 
carried out with the utmost dis- 
patch. 

Tlic Commission mentioned in 
Article 17, § 4 shall settle any 
questions that have remained 
open in the course of the negotia- 
tions in St. Petersburg, and super- 
vise the execution of the agree- 
ments reached.

The nationals of a party who at 
the outbreak of the war had their 
domicile or an industrial or com- 
mercial occupation within the 
territory of the other party and 
who did not reside within such 
territory, may return thither, as 
soon as the other party no longer 
is in a state of war. Such return 
may be refused only for reasons 
of the internal or external se- 
curity of the State. 

Sufficient proof of this will be a 
passport issued by the authori- 
ties of the home State, showing 
that the holder thereof belongs to 
the persons specified in paragraph 
1 preceding; the passport does 
not require a vise. 

Article 19. 

The nationals of each contract- 
ing party shall, within the terri- 
tory of the other party and for the 
time during which their industrial 
or commercial enterprises or any 
other of their industrial activities 
have ceased, because of the war, 
not be subject to any kind of 
assessments, rates, taxes, or dues 
for the industrial or commercial 
enterprise, or the other industrial 
activities. Amounts which, in 
consequence, are not owed, bub 
have already been levied, shall be 
reimburse"!' within six months 
after the ratification of the peace 
treaty. 

The provisions of paragraph 1 
are similarly applicable to com- 
mercial and other industrial so- 
cieties in which nationals of the 
one party are interested as asso- 
ciates, shareholders, or in any 
other manner and whose opera- 
tion within the territory of the 
other party has ceased in conse- 
quence of the war.

Article 20. 

Each contracting party obli- 
gates itself to respect and to care 
for, within its territory, the 
graves of those belonging to the 
army as well as of other nationals 
of the other part}^ who died 
during their internment or de- 
portation; persons authorized by 
this party may also, in agreement 
with the national authorities, 
tend to the care and proper 
adornment of the graves. The 
settlement of particular questions 
connected with the care of the 
graves is reserved for subsecjuent 
agreements. 

SIXTH CHAPTER .

Article 21. 

The nationals of each contract- 
ing party originating from the 
territory of the other party shall, 
during a period of ten years after 
the ratification of the peace treaty, 
be free, in agreement with the 
autliorities of this party, to return 
to their original land. 

Upon demand, persons entitled 
to repatriation, shall receive their 
release from the State in which 
they had been held up to that 
time. Nor shall their written 
or verbal intercourse with the 
diplomatic and consular repre- 
sentatives of their land of origin 
be liindered or made difficult in 
any way whatever. 

The German Commission fore- 
seen in Article 17, § 1, Paragraph 
4 will, moreover, take over the 
care of Germans to be repatriated. 

Article 22. 

For wrongs occasioned them 
during the war on account of their 
origin, the repatriated shall re- 
ceive fair indemnification and

creed to the detriment of enemy 
aliens. 

I 4. 

Tlie immunity from penalty 
foreseen in §§ 1 to 3 does not 
extend to acts committed after 
the ratification of the Peace 
Treaty. 

Article 24. 

Each contracting party grants 
complete immunity from penalty 
to those persons belonging to its 
armed forces with regard to work 
which they ])erformed as war 
prisoners oi' th e other party. The 
same applies to the work perform- 
ed by the civilians of both parties 
during their internment or depor- 
tation. 

Article 25. 

Each contracting party grants 
complete immunity from penalty 
to the inhabitants of its territories 
occupied by the other party, for 
their political and military con- 
duct during the time of the occu- 
pation. 

Apart from the cases specified 
in paragraph 1 , each party grants 
full immunity from penalty to the 
nationals of the territories which 
according to Articles III and VI of 
the Peace Treaty are no longer 
subject to Russian sovereignty, 
and which are to be evacuated bj- 
the Russian troops, for their polit- 
ical and military conduct up to 
the time of the ratification of 
the Peace Treaty. 

Article 26. 

In so far as according to the 
provisions of Articles 23-25, im- 
munity from penalty is granted, 
no new penal proceedings will be 
instituted, the pending penal pro- 
ceedings will be discontinued; 
penalties imposed will not be car- 
ried out.

Prisoners of war who are under 
preliminaiy arrest or in prison for 
military or State treason, for pre- 
meditated murder, robbery, pred- 
atory extortion, premeditated ar- 
son, or crime against morality, 
will be detained up to the time of 
their release, which shall coincide 
as far as possible with the first ex- 
change of those unfit for military 
service. Germany also reserves 
unto herself the right, up to the 
conclusion of the peace treaty, to 
take such measures against per- 
sons to whom she grants immu- 
nity from penalty as are in the 
interest of her military security. 

Nor may other prejudices be 
decreed either against persons 
to whom immunity from penalty 
is gi-anted, or against their fam- 
ilies ; in so far as this may already 
have been done, such persons are 
to be restored to their former 
status. 

Article 27. 

The contracting parties reserve 
unto themselves the right to 
adopt further agreements, in ac- 
cordance with which each party 
gi'ants immunity from penalties 
and other prejudices for acts com- 
mitted to its disadvantage.

Regardless of contrary prize 
decL ions, the Sixth Hague Con- 
vention anent the treatment of

lations.

Tile permit to leave port, in 
the meaning of Ai-ticle 2, Para- 
graph 1, of the Convention can 
only be regarded as having been 
secm-ed in case it has been recog- 
nized also by the other enemy 
maritime Powers. Merchant 
ships which in accordance with 
Ai'ticle 2, Panigi-aph 2 of the 
Convention have been requisi- 
tioned must be returned with 
payment in compensation for the 
time dm'ing which they are used, 
or in case of loss, will be com- 
pensated for in money. For 
non-requisitioned ships, the State 
whose flag they fly must reim- 
burse the expenses incurred to 
keep them in good condition, 
but not any harbor dues and 
other expenses of anchorage. 
Merchant ships which because of 
theu' construction are fit to be 
converted into warships will be 
treated as other merchant ships, 
regardless of Ai-ticle 5 of the 
Convention. 

The provisions of this article 
are applicable also to such mer- 
chant ships as were requisitioned 
or seized before the outbreak of 
the war. 

Article 29. 

Merchant ships of the contract- 
ing parties which have been 
seized as prizes shall, in case they 
have been condemned before the 
signature of the Peace Treaty 
through a legal decision of a 
prize court and provided they do 
not come under the provisions of 
Articles 28 and 30, be regarded as 
finally seized. In all other cases 
they are to be returned or, in so 
far as they no longer exist, to be 
compensated for in money. 

The provisions of paragraph 1 
are properly applicable to car- 
goes seized as prizes belonging to 
the contracting parties. But 
goods of nationals of one party 
which on board ships flying the 
enemy flag have come into the

power of the other party, will in 
all cases be returned to those en- 
titled to them, or, in so far as 
this is not possible, be compen- 
sated for in money. 

Article 30. 

Merchant ships of a contract- 
ing party whicth were stopped, 
seized, or sunk in neutral territo- 
rial waters by the forces of the 
other party, are to be returned 
together with their cargoes, re- 
gardless of contrary prize deci- 
sions, or in so far as they no 
longer exist, to be compensated 
for in money. For the time up 
to their return or payment of 
compensation, an indemnity is to 
be granted. 

Article 31. 

Merchant ships which, accord- 
ing to Articles 28-30 are to be 
returned, shall immediately after 
the ratification of the peace 
treaty be placed at the disposal 
of the State whose flag they fly, 
in the condition and in the port 
in which they are at the time. 
If on the day of the ratification 
such a ship is engaged in a jour- 
ney, it must, at the end of such 
journey and after discharging the 
cargo on board on the day indi- 
cated, be returned at the latest 
within one month; for the inter- 
val of time, the highest daily 
freight rate is to be paid. 

If during the time of the requi- 
sition, the condition of a ship to 
be returned in accordance with 
Article 28 has sustained deteriora- 
tion exceeding that of ordinary 
use, adequate indemnification is 
then to be made. The same ap- 
plies to a ship to be returned in 
accordance with Article 30, even 
in case it was not requisitioned. 
For depreciations or losses which 
after the cessation of hostilities 
have been caused through the

conduct of the party obligated 
to return it, indemnification is to 
be granted in all such cases. 

The selling value which it 
would have on the day of the ratifi- 
cation of the peace treaty is to be 
paid in compensation for a ship 
which no longer exists. The 
usual daily freight rate is to be 
paid in indemnification for the 
use of it. 

Article 32. 

Immediately after the ratifica- 
,tion of the peace treaty and for 
the execution of the provisions 
contained in Articles 28-31, a 
Commission consisting , of two 
representatives each of the con- 
tracting parties and a neutral um- 
pire is to meet in a place still to be 
determined; for the designation 
of the umpire, a request to that 
end will be addressed to the Presi- 
dent of the Sw^ss Federal Council. 

It devolves especially upon the 
Commission to decide whether or 
not, in each specific case, the con- 
ditions exist for the return or 
compensation of a ship or for the 
payment of an indemnity, and to 
determine the amount of sums to 
be paid, namely in the currency 
of the State whose flag it flies. 
Within one month after such de- 
termination, the amounts are to 
be placed at the disposal of the 
Government of the State whose 
flag such ship flies, and to the 
credit of those entitled thereto.

APPENDIX III TO THE TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN RUSSIA 
AND THE CENTRAL POWERS. SIGNED AT BREST-LITOVSK, 
3 MARCH, 1918.1 



[Text IT constructed from Appendix II to the Treaty of Peace, with differences as 
set forth in Slate Department Weekly Reports, Central Powers, No. 40, 8 April, 1918.] 

In rosfard to the economic relations between Austria-Hungary and 
Russia the following^ is as^reed upon : 

1. The Austro-Hunp;arian-Russian treaty concernmg trade and 
shipping of 2/1.5 February, 1906, is not renewed. 

The contracting parties obhgate themselves to commence negotia- 
tions regarding conclusion of a now commercial treaty as soon as 
possible after the conclusion of a general peace between Austria- 
Hungarv on the one part, and the European countries at present at 
war with her and the United States of America and Japan on the 
other part. 

2. As the basis of the commercial co relationship up to the term 
mentioned, and in any case up to the thirty-first of December, 1919, 
shall be considered the regulations contained in the present appendix, 
which regulations form an integral part of the present peace treaty. 
Both contracting parties, are, however, entitled to repudiate these 
regulations beginning from the thirtieth of June, 1919, on condition 
of giving six months' notice. In case of this right of repudiation 
being utilized before the thirty-first of December, 1922, then, for a 
term of three years, reckoning from the date of the cessation of the 
activity of the stipulations contained in the present appendix, the 
prmciple of the most favored nation shall be established on the 
territory of the opposite party, for the subjects, for commercial, 
industrial and financial companies, including insurance companies, 
for the produce of agriculture and industries, and for vessels of both 
contracting parties. 

The principle of the most favored nation, stipulated in the fore- 
going regulations, retains force in the event of changes in customs 
relations in one or both of the contracting countries, as well as any 
of the separate states constituting part of the same. 

3. Furthermore, in the course of this period, Russia will neither 
prohibit the export of rough and unworked lumber, nor levy export 
duty on the same, in so far as it is not especially mentioned in number 
six of the schedule of export duties; neither shall it prohibit the 
export of, or levy export duty on, ores of all kinds, bones, rags, 
refuse of all kinds, and rubber waste.

142 THE RUSSIAN " PEACE. " 

4. Russia shall not claim the advantages which Austria-Hungary 
will grant to Germany or any other country allied with her by her 
customs union, and adjoining Austria-Hungary either immediately 
or through another country" allied with her or with Germany hy 
customs union. 

Colonies, outlying possessions and territories under protectorate, 
in this respect are placed on the same basis as the mother country. 

Austria-Hungary wiQ not claim the advantages which Russia will 
grant to another country connected with her by customs union, 
and adjoining Russia either immediately or through another country 
allied with her by customs union, or to the Colonies, outlying posses- 
sions or territories under the protectorate of a country allied with 
her by customs union. 

5. In so far as in neutral countries there are located goods exported 
from Austria-Hungary or Russia and subject to prohibition of im- 
port into the territory of the other contracting party either directly 
or through the intermedium of another country, such limitations as 
to the disposition of such goods shall be cancelled as regards the 
contracting parties. Both contracting parties, therefore, obligate 
themselves to advise immediately the Governn^ents of neutral 
countries of the above-stated cancellations of the limitations 
mentioned. 

6. Privileges granted by one of the contracting parties during the 
time of the war to other countries in the form of concessions or 
other state measures, must be revoked or extended to the opposite 
party by granting equal rights. 

7. In so far as in the tariff appendix A, or elsewhere there are no 
stipulations to the contrary, the general Russian customs tariff of 
the 13/26 January, 1903, shall be applied for the whole period of 
activity of the present provisorium as well as of the most-favored 
nation treatment granted for both by clause 2. 

8. The agreements which existed between Austria-Hungary and 
Russia on the thirty-first of July, 1914, in regard to Russian sugar 
remain in force during the time of the present provisorium and 
during the mutual application of the most-favored nation principle 
in accordance with clause 2. The regulations contained in the 
notes exchanged 2/15 February, 1906, regarding fowls and raw 
animal products must be applied in the same way during the time 
of this provisorium. 

9. The contracting parties are agreed that, with the conclusion 
of peace, the war terminates also in the field of economy and finance. 
They engage not to participate either directly or indirectly in ipeas- 
ures having for their aim the continuance of hostilities in economic 
or financial spheres, and to hinder such measures within the bounda- 
ries of the territories of their State by all means in their power. 

In the course of the intermediate period recpiired for the removal 
of the consequences of war and for the organization of new relations, 
the contracting parties obligate themselves not to create in so far 
as it is possible, any difficulties in the way of the accpiisition of nec- 
essary goods by introducing high import duties, and they express their 
willingness to enter immediately into negotiations for the purpose 
of mamtain'ng and enlarging as far as feasible, the customs exemp- 
t ions established during: the time of the war.

questions arising in this respect 
is reserved for a special agree- 
ment. 

As regards the settlement of 
the national obligations of the 
two Governments arising from 
the public debt, and from the 
accounts of the railway, postal, 
and telegraph administrations, 
etc., the contracting parties will 
come to an understanding in 
special agreement. 

The contracting parties are 
agreed that under reservation 
of the provisions of paragraph 6, 
copyright and industrial patents, 
concessions and privileges, as 
well as other similar claims on 
the basis of the principles of 
public law, that have been af- 
fected by provisions made during 
the war, shall again be put. into 
force. Rightful claimants shall 
be exempted from paying dues 
for the period during which their 
rights were withheld from them, 
or, in case such dues have already 
been paid, they will be returned. 
If the State has derived property 
advantages from the fact that 
third parties have enjoyed said 
rights, and if the said property 
advantages exceed the dues in 
value, the surplus shall be paid 
to the rightful claimant. In so 
far as the State has enjoyed 
rights which were assigned to it, 
the rightful claimant shall be 
justly indemnified. 

Each contracting party shall 
grant to the nationals of the 
other party, who because of the 
war have failed to observe a 
period stipulated for taking ac- 
tion relative to the acquisition 
or retention of an industrial 
patent, a period of at least one 
year after the ratification of the 
Treaty of Peace for taking such 
action, without prejudice to the 
lawfully acquired rights of third 
parties. Industrial patent rights 
of the nationals of either party 
sliall not lapse in the territory of

ration of four years after the ratifi- 
cation. 

The provision relative to the 
restoration of rights of private 
individuals shall not affect con- 
cessions and privileges nor similar 
demands involving public law, 
in so far as such rights have been 
abolished by legislation covering 
all inhabitants and all rights 
pertaining to them, or in so far 
as these rights have been assumed 
by the State or by the commune 
and remain in possession of the 
latter; in this case the indemnity 
of the rightful claimant shall be 
judged according to the provi- 
sions of Article 5, Paragraph 1. 

The contracting parties reserve 
the right to make special pro- 
visions with regard to the pri- 
ority of industrial patent rights. 

Currency and paper securities, 
which are in the hands of a central 
depositing institution, a guaran- 
tor, or some other similar institu- 
tion designated by the State for 
that purpose, shall within three 
months after the ratification of 
the Peace Treaty be placed at 
the disposal of the rightful claim- 
ant; together with the said cur- 
rency, interest at the rate of 4%, 
computed from the time of de- 
posit in the institution, shall be 
paid; the securities are to be ac- 
companied by the interest which 
is due on them and tlie dividends. 

Vv^ithin the territory of each 
contractmg party the periods for 
the prescription of riglits, in so 
far as concerns the nationals of 
the other party, shall expire, not 
earlier than one year after the 
ratification of the peace treaty, 
in case they had not already 
lapsed before the war. The same 
prmciple applies to the periods 
for the presentation of interest 
certificates or dividend certifi- 
cates, as well as to securities re- 
deemed or that have become 
payable.

The resumption of the previous 
status is to be consented to when, 
in consequence of the war the 
creditor was unable to stay, the 
period granted to enter com- 
plaint, or else when the defendant 
was prevented, by an interrup- 
tion of the communications, from 
having himself properly repre- 
sented in the proceedings relative 
thereto. 

Information concerning the 
activity of the institutions which' 
on tlie basis of a provision of the na- 
ture specified in Paragraph 1 , have 
been entrusted with the supervi- 
sion, safe-guarding, admmistra- 
tion, or liquidation of properties 
or -with the acceptance of pay 
ments, and information concen 
in the proceeds and expenses, is 
to ])e freely given to rightful 
claimants on demand. Demar^ds 
for indemnity arising out of the 
activity of these institutions, or 
transactions made under its direc- 
tion, may only be presented in 
accordance witli the stipulations 
of Article 5, Paragrapli 1. In so 
far as alienated property has been 
taken over by the State or by tlie 
commune, on the basis of legisla- 
tion affecting all inhabitants and 
all chattels of the same category, 
and remains in the possession of 
the State or commune, the indem- 
nity of the rightful claimants is to 
be computed on the basis of the pro- 
visions of Article 5, Paragrapli 1 ; 
furthermore, in case of annulment 
of the assumption, the petition for 
the return of the property pro- 
vided for in the preceding section, 
may be made witliin one year 
after the said annulment. 

The supervised, safe-guarded, 
or administered properties are, 
upon the demand of the rightful 
claimant, to be released immedi- 
ately; until the transfer to the 
person entitled thereto has been 
effected, the safe-guarding of his 
interests is to be attended to.

as well as rights to the use or the 
exploitation of parcels of land, 
enterprises or participation in an 
enterprise, especially shares which 
have been affected or forcibly 
taken from the person entitled 
thereto, shall be returned to the 
former owner upon a claim to that 
end made within one year after 
the ratification of the peace 
treaty, by deducting any profit 
that may have accrued to him 
as a result of the said alienation 
or subtraction, and shall be ex- 
empt from all rights established 
in the interval by third parties. 

Article 5. 

The contracting parties are 
agreed that the nationals of 
both parties are to be indemni- 
fied for the damages which they 
have suffered in consequence of 
decrees issued on account of the 
war with respect to temporary or 
permanent withdrawal of copy-, 
rights, industrial patent rights, 
concessions, privileges, and simi- 
lar rights, or relative to supervi- 
sion, safe-guarding, administra- 
tion, or alienation of proj^erty, in 
so far as reparation does not in- 
volve restoration to the former 
condition. Similarly for stock- 
holders who because of their 
status as enemy aliens were ex- 
cluded from rights of financial 
transactions. 

For the purpose of determining 
the amount of damages, a com- 
mission shall me&t immediately 
after the ratification of the Peace 
Treaty, at a place to be decided 
upon later, which is to consist of 
one third each of representatives 
of both contracting parties and 
of neutral members; the President 
of the Swiss Confederation shall be 
requested to name the neutral- 
members, among them the chair- 
rhan. The commission shall formu-

2. Nationals of the one con- 
tracting party who at the out- 
break of the war had their domi- 
cile in the territories of the other 
party or who, though non-resi- 
dent, had employment or a com- 
mercial establishment there may 
return thither, as soon as the 
other contractmg party is no 
longer in a state of war. Such 
return may be denied only on 
grounds of the internal or ex- 
ternal security of the State. 

As identification a passport 
issued by authorities of the home 
State, showing the holder thereof 
to be the person specified, will 
suffice ; it willnot require a vise. 

3. Nationals of each contract- 
ing party shall, withm the terri- 
tories of the otlier party and for 
the time during which their em- 
ployment, or commercial enter- 
prises, or any other of their in- 
dustrial activities has elapsed, in 
consequence of the war, not be 
subject to any kind of assess- 
ments, rates, taxes, or dues for 
their employment, commercial 
enterprises, or otlier industrial 
activity. Amounts whicli, iti con- 
sequence, are not owed, but have 
already been levied, sliall be re- 
imbursed withm six months after 
the ratification of the peace 
treaty. 

The provisions of tlie preceding 
paragraph are similarly applicable 
to commercial and otlier industrial 
companies in which nationals of 
tlie one party are interested as 
associates, share-holders, or in 
any other manner, and whose en- 
terprise within the territory of 
the other party has ceased in con- 
sequence of the war.

Article 9. 

To nationals of the one con- 
tracting party who were born in 
the territories of the other con- 
tracting party an interval of ten 
years after tlie ratification of the 
Treaty of Peace is permitted, 
within which, with the consent of 
the latter contractmg party, they 
may return to the land of their 
origin. Tlie repatriated are, on 
their petition, to be granted re- 
lease f rorn tlieir present citizen- 
ship. Likewise shall their writ- 
ten or verbal intercourse with tlie 
diplomatic or consular representa- 
tives of tlie land of their origin in 
no manner be hindered or embar- 
rassed. The repatriated shall re- 
ceive adequate compensation for 
any disadvantages suffered, in 
consequence of the war, on ac- 
count of their national origin, and 
shall in no wise be prejudiced in 
their property rights as the result 
of the exercise of their preroga- 
tive of repatriation. They shall 
be entitled to liquidate their 
property and take with them the 
proceeds thereof and other mova- 
ble possessions. Finally, they 
may terminate a lease contract 
upon service of a six months' 
notice, without the lessor pro- 
ceeding against them for breach 
of contract. 

Article 10. 

Each contracting party grants 
complete immunity to the prison- 
ere of war of the other party, and 
to its interned or deported civilian 
nationals, for all committed acts 
punishable by the courts or in 
virtue of disciplinary measures.- 
New penal proceedings shall not 
be instituted, pending proceed- 
ings shall be discontinued, and 
penalties already imposed shall be 
remitted. The contracting par-

to which they were called during- 
their military imprisonment. 

Article 11. 

Regardless of the decision of a 
Prize Court, merchant ships of 
the contracting parties as well as 
their cargoes shall be governed 
by the provisions of the Sixth 
Hague Conference, of 18 October, 
1907,^ relative to the treatment of 
hostile merchant ships at the 
outbreak of war. 

Permission to effect a clearance 
in the sense of Article 2, Paragraph 
1, of the Conference, will only be 
considered valid when the same 
has been recognized by the other 
hostile naval Powers. Merchant 
ships which, in accordance with 
Article 2, Paragraph 2, of the Con- 
ference, were requisitioned must 
either be returnee! with indemnity 
for the period of their use together 
with their entire inventory, in- 
clusive of ship papers, ship money^ 
and the personal effects of the 
crew, or, in the event of the loss 
of these, restitution therefor must 
be made in money. In the case of 
non-requisitioned ships the home- 
land is responsible for expenses of 
maintenance, but not for harbor 
dues or expenses of demurrage. 
Merchant ships which by virtue 
of th^ur construction may be con- 
verted into vessels of war, shall, 
notwithstanding Artif 1? 5 of the 
Conference, be treated like other 
merchant ships. The provisions 
of this article also anect such 
merchant vessels which before 
the opening of hostilities were 
unabh' to leave port, were requisi- 
tioned, or were captured, notwith- 
standing the claims to indemnity 
arising from this violation of 
international law.

Merchant vessels of the con- 
tracting parties, captured as 
prizes, shall be considered defin- 
itively captured, if they have been 
condemned by a valid decision of 
a Prize Court and do not betong 
to the category mentioned in the 
preceding section; otherwise such 
ships must be returned, or, if 
they no longer exist, restitution 
therefor must be made in money. 
These provisions are valid also 
for cargoes captured as prizes. 
Goods belonging to nationals of 
one party, which came into the 
power of the other party on ves- 
sels of hostile nationality, shall in 
all cases be returned to the right- 
ful claimants, and, as far as this 
is possible, restitution therefor 
shall be made in money. 

Merchant ships of one of the 
contracting parties which were 
captured, confiscated, or sunk in 
territorial waters of a neutral by 
the fighting forces of the other* 
party, shall be returned with 
their cargoes notwithstanding the 
decisions of a Prize Court that 
may have been rendered against 
them; in case they no longer 
exist, restitution therefor shall be 
mad(> in money; for the period 
until their return or- restitution 
an indemnity shall be paid. 

Merchant ships which are to be 
returned according to the preced- 
ing provision must, after a pro- 
tocol has been made of the case 
by the person empowered to take 
possession of the ship and the 
representative of the harbor 
authorities and immediately after 
the ratification of the Peace 
Treaty, be placed at the disposal 
of the home-land in the condition 
and in the harbor in whick 
they are, and they are held 
accountable for every arbitrary 
or punishable act. The deported 
crew shall receive free passage 
to its ship as well as assist- 
ance in every way. If such

a ship is engaged in a voyage on 
the day of ratification, it must 
be returned after the completion 
thereof and after the unloading 
of the cargo which it is carrying 
at the said time; at latest, how- 
ever, they shall be returned after 
one month; for the intervening 
time indemnity is to be paid 
for the highest daily average 
freight. 

If the condition of the ship 
which is to be returned accord- 
ing td the provisions of paragraph 
2 has deteriorated materially in 
value during the time of its 
recjuisition, indemnity is to be 
paid also for the time necessary 
for making repairs. Similarly for 
a ship returned according to the 
provisions of paragraph 4, even if it 
was not requisitioned. For de- 
terioration or losses caused by the 
returning party after the cessa- 
tion of hostilities, indemnity is to 
be paid in all cases. 

Indemnity for a ship which no 
longer exists is to be paid for on 
the basis of its market value on 
the day of the ratification of the 
Peace Treat}', and an adequate 
indemnity is to be allowed for 
the time lost until another ship 
can be supplied to take its place. 
The customary daily average 
freight shall be considered in- 
demnity for the use of the ship. 
In case the cargo and the sup- 
plies are no longer in existence, 
their market value on the day of 
the ratification of the • Peace 
Treaty shall be indemnified. Im- 
mediately after the ratification of 
the Peace Treaty a commission 
consisthig of two representatives 
of each of the contracting parties 
as weU as a neutral umpire shall 
meet at a place to be later de- 
termined for the purpose of exe- 
cuthig the al)ove provisions. The 
Presitlent of the Swiss Confed- 
eration shall be requested to 
designate the imipire.

The commission shall decide 
in each case whether the return 
or the restitution of a ship or 
payment of indemnitj^ is in order. 
It shall also determine the amount 
to be paid, in each case in the 
currency of the homeland. The 
said amomits shall be placed at

of the homeland on account of 
the rightful claimant, within one

decision. In case of delayed 
payment, the customary inter- 
est sliall be forthcoming.

the latter. For the elaboration

RUSSIAN DELEGATES' PROTEST AGAINST THE TREATY OF 
PEACE OF BREST-LITOVSK, 3 MARCH, 1918. 



[ Text Issued by the Russian Govermnent Wireless on 9 March, 1918, as given in the (British) 
Daily Review of the Foreign Press, 12 March, 1918, p. 119.] 

To all; to Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Sehastopol, Odessa, KharTcov, Niko^ 
laiev, Tashkent, Arkhangelsk, Kazan, Irkutsk. 

The Russian Peace Delegation made the following Declaration 
before signing the Peace Treaty at the Session of the conference at 
Bre'st-Litovsk on 3 Mar. : — 

The Workmen's and Peasants' Government of the Russian Republic 
was forced, after the offensive of the German troops against Russia, 
when the latter had declared the war to be at an end and had com- 
menced the demobilization of its armies, to accept an ultimatum 
presented by Germany on 24 Feb. We have been delegated to sign 
these conditions, which have been forced upon us by violence. 

The negotiations which have been carried out so far at Brest- 
Litovsk between us, on the one part, and Germany and her allies, 
on the other, have shown strongly and clearly enough that the "peace 
by agi'eement" as it is termed by the German representatives, is 
really and definitely an annexationist and imperialistic peace. The 
Brest-Litovsk conditions at the moment are considerably worse than 
this. The peace which is being concluded here at Brest-Litovsk is 
not a peace based upon a free agreement of the peoples of Russia, 
Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey, but a peace dictated by 
force of arms. This is the peace which Russia, grinding its teeth, is 
compelled to' accept. This is a peace which, whilst pretending to 
free Russian border provinces, really transforms them into German 
provinces and deprives them of the right of free self-determination, 
such as was recognized by the Workmen's and Peasants' Government 
of Revolutionary Russia, as due to them. This is a peace which, 
whilst pretendrig to reestablish order, gives armed support in these 
regions to exploitijig classes against the working classes, and is 
helping again to put upon them the yoke of oppression which was 
removed by the Russian Revolution. This is a peace which gives 
back the land to the landlords, and again drives the workers into the 
serfdom of the factory owners. This is a peace which for a long time 
to come imposes upon the workers of Russia in a still more aggravated 
form the old commercial treaty which was. concluded in 1904 in the 
interests of German agrarians, and which is at the same time guaran- 
teeing to German and Austro-Hungarian capitalists interest on the 
debts of the Tsarist Government, which have been repudiated by 

173 



174 THE RUSSIAN PEACE. 

Revolutionary Russia. Finally, as if it was the purpose explicitly to 
emphasize the character of the German armed offensive, the German 
ultimatum is attempting to muzzle the Russian Revolution by for- 
bidding all agitation directed against the Governments of the Quad- 
ruple Alliance and their mihtary authorities. But even this does not 
suffice. Under the same pretence of reestablishing order, Germany 
is also occupying by arms regions in which the population is purely 
Russian and is establishing there a regime of military occupation in 
disregard to revolutionary institutions. For the Ukraine and 
Finland Germany is requesting the non-intervention of Revolutionary 
Russia, and at the same time is intervening actively with the object 
of supporting the counter-revolutionary forces against the workmen 
and peasants. • _ 

In the Caucasus, in du-ect contradiction to the conditions of the 
ultimatum of 21 Feb., as formulated by the German Government 
itself, Germany is breaking away for the benefit of Turkey regions of 
Ardahan, Kars, and Batum, which never have been taken by Turkish 
troops during this war, and with complete disregard of the real wishes 
of the populations of these regions. The most cynical and violent 
territorial seizures, the occupation of the most important strategical 
points, can have but one purpose: to prepare a new offensive against 
Russia and to defend capitalistic interests against the Workmen's 
and Peasants' Revolution. Such is the real object of the offensive 
undertaken by the German troops on 18 Feb. without the seven days' 
notice which was agreed upon in the armistice treaty concluded 
between Russia and the Central Powers. This advance was not 
stopped, in spite of the Declaration of the Council of the People's 
Commissioners that they accepted the German ultimatum of 21 
Feb. This advance was not stopped in spite of the fact that the con- 
ference of Brest-Litovsk was resumed, and in spite of an official 
protest by the Russian Delegation. Through this, all the conditions 
of peace presented by Germany and by her allies are transformed into 
an ultimatum presented by them to Russia and supported in the 
interests of such a peace treaty, with the threat of immediate armed 
violence. Nevertheless, in the present situation Russia has no 
alternative choice. After having demobilized her armies, the 
Russian Revolution has by the same act given its fate into the hands 
of the German people. The Russian Delegation has already declared 
openly at Brest-Litovsk that no honest man can believe that the war 
against Russia can now be termed a defensive war. Germany has 
taken the offensive under the pretense of reestablishing order, but 
in reality with the purpose of strangling the Russian Workers' and 
Peasants' Revolution. For the benefit of world-imperialisni German 
militarism has succeeded at the present time in moving its troops 
against the masses of the workmen and peasants of the Russian 
Repubhc. The German proletariat has not as yet shown itself power- 
ful enough to stop this offensive movement. We do not doubt for 
one moment that this triumph of the imperialist and the militarist 
over the international proletarian Revolution is only a temporary 
and passing one. Under the present conditions the Soviet Govern- 
ment of the Russian Republic being left to its own forces, is unable

conditions put before it. We, being empowered by our Government 
to sign the treaty of peace, are compelled, in spite of our protest, to 
negotiate under the absolutely exceptional conditions of continued 
hostilities against nonresisting Russia. We can not submit to any 
further shooting of Russian workmen and peasants who have refused 
to continue the war. We declare openly before the workmen, 
peasants, and soldiers of Russia and Germany, and before the laboring 
and exploited masses of the whole world, that we are forced to accept 
the peace dictated by those who at the moment are the more power- 
ful, and that we are going to sign immediately the treaty presented 
to us as an ultimatum, but that at the same time we refuse to enter 
into any discussion of these terms. 



19. RUSSIA— CENTRAL POWERS. 



PROTEST OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND ITALY AGAINST 
THE TREATY OF PEACE OF BREST-LITOVSK BETWEEN 
RUSSIA AND THE CENTRAL POWERS. ISSUED BY THE 
BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE, 18 MARCH, 1918. 



[Text as published in London Times, 19 March, 1918, p. 6.] 

The Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of the Entente, assem- 
bled in London, feel it to be their bounden duty to take note of the 
political crimes which, under the name of a German peace, have been 
committed against the Russian people. 

Russia was unarmed. Forgetting that for four years Germany 
had been fighting against the independence of nations and the rights 
of mankind, the Russian Government in a mood of singular credulity 
expected to obtain by persuasion that ''democratic peace'' which 
it had failed to obtain by war. 

The results were that the intermediate armistice had not expired 
before the German command, though pledged not to alter the dis- 
position of its troops, transferred them en masse to the vvestern front, 
and so weak did Russia find herself that she dared to raise no protest 
against this flagrant violation of Germany's plighted w^ord. 

What followed was of like character, when "the German peace" 
was translated into action. It was found to involve the invasion 
of Russian territory, the destruction or capture of all Russia's means 
of defense, and the organization of Russian lands for Germany's 
profit — a proceeding which did not differ from " annexation '' because 
the word itself was carefully avoided. 

Meanwhile, those very Russians who had made military operations 
impossible found diplomacy impotent. Tlieir representatives were 
compelled to proclaim that while they refused to read the treaty 
presented to them, they had no choice but to sign it; so they signed 
it, not knowing whether in its true significance it meant peace or 
war, nor measuring the degree to which Russian national life was 
reduced by it to a shadow. 

For us of the Entente Governments the judgments which the free 
peoples of the world will pass on these transactions would never be 
in doubt. Whj?- waste time over Germany's pledges, when we see 
that at no period in her history of conquest — not when she overran 
Silesia nor when she partitioned Poland — has she exhibited herself 
so cynically as a destroyer of national independence, the implacable 
enemy of the rights of- man and the dignity of civilized nations. 

Poland, whose heroic spirit has survived the most cruel of national 
tragedies, is threatened with a fourth partition, and to aggravate her 
wrongs devices by which the last trace of her independence is to be 
crushed are based on fraudulent promises of freedom. 

]77 



178 THE RUSSIAN '* PEACE. ' 

Wliat is true of Russia and Poland is no less true of Roumania, 
overwhelmed like tliem in a flood of merciless passion for domination. 

Peace is loudly advertised, but under the disguise of verbal pro- 
fessions lurk the brutal realities of war and the untempered rule of 
a lawless force. 

Peace treaties such as these we do not and can not acknowledge 
Our own ends are very different. We are fighting, and mean to con- 
tinue fighting, in order to finish once for all with this policy of plunder 
and to establish in its place the peaceful reign of organized justice. 

As incidents of this long war unroll themselves before our eyes, more 
and more clearly do we perceive that the battles for freedom are 
everywhere interdependent; that no separate enumeration of them is 
needed, and that in every case the single but all-sufficient appeal is 
to justice and right. 

Are justice and right going to win ? In so far as the issue depends 
on battles yet to come the nations whose fate is in the balance may 
surely put their trust in the armies, which, even under conditions 
more difficult than the present, have shown themselves more than 
equal to the great cause intrusted to their valor. 

Meetings of the vSupreme War Council and important political 
conferences under the Presidency of Premier David Lloyd George 
were held in Downing Street Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They 
were attended by the Premiers of France and Italy and other Min- 
isters, with their military and expert advisers.

Guided by the wish to solve 
certain political questions which 
have arisen in connection with 
the Peace Treaty of 3/7 March, 
1918, between Germany, Austria- 
Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey, 
for the one part, and Russia, for 
the other part, in the spirit of 
friendly understanding and mu- 
tual conciliation, and, in so doing, 
to promote the restoration of good 
and confidential relations between 
the two Empires, for which a way 
was paved by the conclusion of 
peace, the German Imperial Gov- 
ernment and the Government of 
the Russian Socialist Federal 
Soviet-Republic have agreed to 
conclude a supplementary treaty 
to the Peace Treaty with this 
object, and have appointed as 
their plenipotentiaries: 

For the Imperial German Gov- 
ernment : 

The Secretary of State for 
Foreign Affairs, the Im- 

Serial Privy Councillor, 
lear Admiral Paul von 
Hintze, retired; and 
The Director in the Foreign 
Office, the Imperial Privy 
Councillor, Dr. Johannes

ARTICLE 1. 

In so far as this has not yet 
been done, Russo-German Com- 
missions will immediately be 
formed to fix demarcation lines 
for all fronts where German and 
Russian troops face one another. 
Exact details as to this shall be 
agreed on by the commanders of 
the troops on each side. 

Tliese demarcation lines shall 
be so drawn that there are neu- 
tral zones between the respective 
fronts, which zones must not be 
trodden by any members of the 
respective armies, with the ex- 
ception of parlementaires. In so 
far as there is not regular traffic 
between the respective fronts, 
such traffic will be established by 
the demarcation commissions. 

ARTICLE 2. 

The Russo-German Commis- 
sion for fixing the frontier line, 
provided for in Article 3, Para- 
graph 1 , of the Peace Treaty, shall

§ 1. 

In Esthonia, Livonia, Cour- 
land, and Lithuania tlie through 
transport of goods to and from 
Russia on routes liable to the 
payment of duty shall be abso- 
lutely free, and the goods to be 
transported shall not be sub- 
ject to any transit duties or 
general transport dues. 

§2. 

On the railways connecting 
Russia with Reval, Riga, ana 
Windau, the freight tariffs on the 
goods to be forwarded in tlirough 
trade with Russia are to be kept 
as low as possii^le. They may 
only be raised above the rates in 
force on 1 August, 1914, by taking 
the average of the amount by 
whicli a general rise in the freight 
tariffs of tlie lines in question may 
be necessary to coveir the cost of 
working and upkeep, including 
the payment of interest, and 
timely redemption of the capital 
invested. Neither must they be 
higher than the freight tariffs for 
goods of the same kind of inland 
origin or destination, which are 
forwarded over the same lines and 
in the same direction. 

§3. 

Shipping on the Dvina between 
Russia and the open sea, as well 
as between all places on the 
Livonian-Courland Dvina, and 
on the Russian Dvina, is, subject 
to prevailing police regulations, to 
be free for the transport of goods 
and passengers, without any dis- 
crimination in regard to the ships 
and the subjects of the one or 
the other party. It is not to be 
subject to any tax based solely 
on the fact of the navigation. It 
is not to be subject to any sta- 
tions, slips, depot, turnover, or 
harborage dues.

Exclusive shipping privileges 
must not be granted either to 
companies or corporations, or to 
private persons of any kind. 

Taxes for the use of works and 
institutions which are created, 
or may be created in future, to 
facilitate traffic, or to improve 
and maintain the navigation of 
the river, may only be raised uni- 
formly in accordance with pub- 
lished tariffs and to the extent nec- 
essary to cover the cost of resto- 
ration and upkeep, inclusive of 
payment of interest and redemp- 
tion of the ca]>ital invested. The 
cost of restoring and keepmg up 
works and institutions which are 
not for the facilitation of traffic 
and the improvement and main- 
tenance of the navigation of the 
river, but are intended to further 
other objects and interests, may 
be raised only to a proportionate 
extent by shipping dues. 

The provisions of paragraphs 1 
to 3 preceding apply also to rafts. 

§4. 

At Reval, Riga, and Windau, 
Russia shall have suitably situated 
free port zones assigned to her, in 
which the storing and unpacking 
of goods coming from or intended 
for Russia, can take place with- 
out hindrance, and the work of 
dispatching goods from or to the 
Russian Customs zone can be done 
by Russian officials. 

§5. 

The individual questions con- 
nected with the provisions of 
§§ 1 to 4, particularly the re- 
strictions to which these pro- 
visions may be subjected in war 
tune out of consideration for war 
necessity or for urgent sanitary 
reasons, shall be regulated by a 
special agreement.

ARTICLE 12. 

The parts of the occupied terri- 
tory which do not belong to the 
districts referred to in the third 
Ukrainian Universal of 7 Novem- 
ber, 1917,^ shall be evacuated by 
the German forces at latest on the 
conclusion of the general peace, 
in so far as the peace between 
Russia and the Ukraine shall not 
have come into being before then. 

Tiie evacuation of the railway 
line Rostov-Voronesh, as well as 
of the occup ed territory .east of 
it, and a suitable front, er district 
west of it, including the town of 
Rostov, will follow as soon as this 
is demanded on the Russian side. 
Until the evacuation, Germany 
will permit the forwarding of 
grain and other goods for the 
Russian Government, under the 
supervision of Russian officials, 
on those portions of the railway 
situated in the occupied treritory; 
the same applies for the portions 
of the railway line Taganrog- 
Rostov and Taganrog-Kursk, 
lying in the occupied territory, 
for the duration of the occupa- 
tion. 

So long as the Donetz Basin is 
occupied by German troops in 
accordance with Article 11 and 
Article 12, Paragraph 1, Russia

shall receive monthly from the 
quantities of coal extracted there 
a three-times greater number of 
tons than it lets Germany have of 
crude oil or crude oil products 
from the Baku district in accord- 
ance with Article 14, Paragraph 
2, and a four-times greater num- 
ber of tons for the consignments 
of benzine contained therein. In 
so far as the coal supply in the 
Donetz Basin is not sufficient for 
this, or must be used for other 

Eurposes, it will be supplemented 
y German coal. 

PART VI. 
The Caucasus. 

ARTICLE 13. 

Russia agrees to Germany's 
recognizing Georgia as an inde- 
pendent State. 

ARTICLE 14. 

Germany will give no assist- 
ance to any third Power in any 
military operations in the Cau- 
casus outside Georgia or the dis- 
tricts mentioned in Article 4, 
Paragraph 3, of the Peace Treaty. 
She will also take measures to 
prevent the military forces of 
any third Power in the Caucasus 
overstepping the following lines: 
The Kuban, from its mouth to 
Petropavlovskoje; from there on- 
wards, the boundaries of the 
district Shemaklia to Agrioba; 
thence a straight line to the 
point where the boundaries of 
the districts of Baku, Shemakha, 
and Kuban meet; thence along 
the northern boundary of the 
district of Baku to the sea. 



1 The German text contains a couple of garbled geographical names. "Kuban," where first men- 
tioned (line 10 of this Article), is evidently a mistake for the (Biver) Kurft. In the second place in 
which it occurs (lino 15) ''Ivuban" is certainly a misprint for (the district, or uiezd) of KubA. The 
significance of this Article is that Germany (a) virtually gives Turkey carte blanche for military oper- 
ations in Georgia and the three districts of Kars, Erdehan, and Batum (mentioned in Article 4 of the 
Peace Treaty), (b) promises not to assist Turkey in military operations in the Caucasus outside the 
territories just mentioned, and (c) agrees actually to oppose any third Power's carrying operations into 
a district bounded by the line defined in this Article. This line is so drawn as to form a small semicircle 
around 15aku, extending southward as far as the River Kurz, westward as far as the frontier of the 
viezd of Shemakha, northward as far as the frontier of the uiexd of Kubil. The obvious purpose here 
was to safeguard the oil wells of Baku, the output of which was to be placed by the Soviet government 
at the disposal of Germany, as the rest of the Article shows.

Russia will do her utmost to 
further the production of crude 
oil and crude oil products in the 
Baku district, and will supply 
to Germany a quarter of the 
amount produced, or at least a 
number of tons, to be agreed 
upon later, per month. In so 
far as the quantities produced 
in the Balcu district are not suf- 
ficient to supply this number of 
tons, or must be used for other 
purposes, they will be supple- 
mented by quantities produced 
elsewhere. The price will be 
reckoned by the price of the 
coal Russia is to be allowed to 
have in accordance with Article 
12, Paragraph 3, and, moreover, 
by the amount of goods to be 
supplied by Russia to Germany, 
in accordance with Article 3, 
§ 2, of the Russo-German Finan- 
cial Agreement of this date. 

PART VII. 

Treatment of Russian War- 
ships AND Russian Stores 
Seized by German Military 
Forces after the Conclu- 
sion OF Peace. 

article 15. 

Germany recognizes Russia's 
ownership of the Russian war- 
ships seized by German forces 
after the ratification of the Peace 
Treaty, subject to Russia coming 
to terms with Finland and the 
Ukraine as to the national capi- 
tal of the former Russian Empire. 

The warships seized will remain 
under German care until the 
conclusion of the general peace. 

article 16. 

Germany admits Russia's claim 
to be compensated for the Rus- 
sian stores which have been seized 
outside the Ukraine and Finland

other notice of these claims for 
the first time by 25 September, 
1918, at the latest; for the second 
time by 15 November, 1918, at 
the latest; and for the third time 
by 15 February, 1919, at the 
latest; and shall take care that 
the bank deposits and credits to 
be made over shall be given up 
on 25 October, 1918, 31 Decem- 
ber, 1918, and 31 March, 1919, 
and, in so far as the claims under 
Article 7, Paragraph 2, and Arti- 
cle 8, Paragraph 2, have to be 
examined by a mixed commission, 
they shall be given up immedi- 
ately after the decision of the 
Commission, on the side of Ger- 
many in Berlin, aijd on the side 
of Russia in Moscow. 

Each contracting party shall 
take care that the delivery, in so 
far as the rights of banks of third 
parties to the bank deposits or 
credits are not in conflict, shall 
be effected against an authenti- 
cated release of the person in 
whose name the deposit or credit 
stood, or who is recognized as au- 
thorized by a decision of the Com- 
mission referred to in Article 7, 
Paragraph 2. Should another 
person claim the deposit or credit 
on the ground of an hereditary 
title or a legal succession to the 
whole assets of a juridical person, 
the release can be furnished by 
this other person if he is a subject 
of the same contracting party as 
the original claimant, and if his 
title is supported by a declaration 
from the State Commissioner of 
that party. In all other cases 
definite evidence of the title must 
be given to the banking or finan- 
cial institution with which the 
deposit or credit rests. 

The rightful claimants, who 
desire to make good their claims 
without the intervention of the 
State Commissioner, may apply 
direct to the banking and financial 
institutions, in the case of German

article 11. 

Property of Germans shall in 
future be expropriated in Russia,

owner's power of disposal, only 
under the proviso that the ex- 
propriation or other withdrawal 
is carried out in favor of the State 
or a Commune under legislation 
applying to all inhabitants and 
subjects of a third country and 
to all articles of a similar kind, 
and the further proviso that the 
owner is immediately compen- 
sated in cash. 

The amount of the compensa- 
tion to be paid, in accordance 
with paragraph 1, shall be fixed 
by two experts, of whom one 
shall be appointed by the Russian 
Government, and the other by 
the rightful claimant. Should no 
agreement be reached between 
them, they shall call in a third 
expert as chairman, whom the

ARTICLE 12. 

Property, which in accordance 
with Article 11 has been expro- 
priated, or otherwise withdrawn 
irom the owner's power of dis- 
posal, shall be handed back to 
him on request against return of 
the compensation paid to him, 
and with regard being had to 
possible improvement or damage, 
if the property no longer remains

nized as valid by both the debtor 
and the bank. The debtor's ac-

by a judicial decision having the

7, Paragraph 3, shall decide in

AETICLE 15. 

The Russo-German Deceased 
Estates Convention of 12 Novem-

in force, with the proviso that, in 
regard to all cases of inheritance 
since the new law of inheritance 
in Russia, the provisions for 
movable property shall apply to 
immovable property also, and 
the proviso that a duty on the 
inheritance may be levied only by 
the country of the deceased, and 
the further proviso, that, inas- 
much as the law of inheritance 
in Russia is annulled or essen- 
tially limited, the Convention 
cannot be annulled. 

The contracting parties fur- 
ther reserve the right to super- 
sede certain provisions of the 
Deceased Estates Convention 
which have not been observed 
in practice by new ones more in 
harmony with existing condi- 
tions.

of the Russo-German Supple-

The plenipotentiaries have 
agreed to the following provi- 
sions, after having exchanged 
their credentials, and having 
found these in due and proper 
form: 

PART I 

Legal Positions Arising From 
Bills of Exchange and 
Cheques. 

article I. 

If the presentation of a bill of 
exchange for payment, or the 
protest, or the taking of other 
action necessary to uphold the 
exchange rights, has not been 
possible during the war, in con- 
sequence of legal instructions, or 
of force majeure, the action iii

Tlie plaintiff can only move 
that the transaction should come 
before the Court of Arbitration 
by submitting a declaration to 
the said Court. If he lodges the 
complaint with the regular Court 
he loses the right to appeal to 
the Court of Arbitration. 

The defendant must make the 
proposal in answermg the charge, 
at latest two months after the 
complaint has been lodged. If, 
in an action before the reo;ular 
Court, a counter charge is lodged, 
the plaintiff must make the pro- 
posal to bring the counter charge 
before the Court of Arbitration 
when answering the counter 
charge, at the latest, however, 
two months after the counter 
charge is lodged. 

The regular Court has to sub- 
mit proposals to bring the matter 
before the Court of Arbitration 
to such Court, and await its de- 
cision. The Court of Arbitra- 
tion may permit a proposal not- ' 
withstanding the lapse of the two 
months' grace provided for in 
Paragraph 3, if it was not pos- 
sible, in • consequence of force 
majeure, to observe the period of 
grace. 

The decision of the Court of 
Arbitration as to the existence 
or non-existence of its competence 
is binding for the Courts of Ger- 
many and Russia. 

ARTICLE 17. 

The Courts of Arbitration ap- 
pointed to arbitrate will be 
erected in Berlin and Moscow. 

The Court of Arbitration in 
Berlin is competent, if the de- 
fendant is a German subject, 
whether his domicile be in Ger- 
many or outside of Germany and 
Russia. 

The Court of Arbitration in 
Moscow is competent if the de- 
fendant is a Russian subject, 
whether his domicile be in Russia 
or outside of Russia and Germany.

If the competence of both 
Courts of Arbitration is estab- 
hshed in consequence of the de- 
fendant having several residences, 
then the plaintiff has the choice 
which Court of Arbitration he 
will appeal to. The same applies 
when, of several defendants who 
are legally associated in respect 
of the subject of dispute, the one 
has his domicile in Germany, the 
other in Russia. 

ARTICLE 18. 

If necessary the Court of Arbi- 
tration must officially test its 
competence, particularly the na- 
tionality of the parties, and the 
correctness of the statements 
made by the parties on which its 
competence is based. 

ARTICLE 19. 

The Courts of Arbitration in 
Berlin and Moscow shall be 
formed as follows: 

Germany and Russia each to 
appoint a judge and a deputy for 
each Court of Arbitration. The 
Danish Government shall be 
asked equally to appoint from 
amongst the number of its sub- 
jects, for each Court of Arbitra- 
tion, a judge and a deputy. The 
appointment of the judges shall 
be for three years. Only those 
can be appointed who are quali- 
fied to be members of a higher 
court of appeal in their own 
country. 

In addition to the judges, two 
commercial judges shall be ap- 
pointed for each Court of Arbi- 
tration, if advised and proposed 
by the organs appointed to rep- 
resent the commercial class, Ger- 
many and Russia each appointing 
one. 

The right of agreeing to add to 
the number of judges shall be re- 
served to the Governments of the 
States concerned.

ARTICLE 21. 

The judge appointed by the 
Danish Government shall act as

ARTICLE 25. 

The Court of Arbitration must 
apply those rules of international 
civil law which were in force in 
its domicile before 1 August, 
1914, by virtue of the law or of 
legal practice. According to 
these rules, the question has in 
particular to be judged, whether 
a claim pleaded is barred by the 
statute of limitations, in so far as 
the provisions of Article 10 of 
the Supplementary Treaty, or 
the amplifications to it agreed on, 
do not take effect. 

ARTICLE 26. 

In applying the laws, and inter- 
preting judicial matters, the Court 
of Arbitration must take the 
views of honorable and fair trade 
dealing into consideration, and 
judge with due attention to the 
whole content of the proceedings 
and the effect of any special 
agreement. 

ARTICLE 27. 

The Court of Arbitration shall 
give judgment on the basis of 
verbal proceedings. 

The trial shall be conducted by 
the president: it shall be public. 

A record shall be taken down 
of every hearing, and be signed by 
the president and the clerk of the 
court. 

ARTICLE 28. 

The parties are to be summoned 
to the trial. No summons shall 
be required when the date of the 
trial is announced in their pres- 
ence, or in the presence of their 
representatives. 

ARTICLE 29. 

The period of grace between 
the serving of the writ and the 
first date fixed for the trial {Ein~ 
lassungsfrist) shall be at least six

have direct business dealings witn 
German and Russian Courts of 
Justice within their competence,

It may effect deliveries on its own 
account; it may also hear wit- 
nesses and experts who appear 
before it, on oath or not on oath, 
as well as to accept ex parte affi- 
davits and solemn affirmations in 
place of an oath. 

Tlie Court of Arbitration may 
allow witnesses and experts who 
appear before it the reimburse- 
ment of their expenses and com- 
pensation for loss of time ; it may 
also allow them an advance.

charged to cover the costs. The 
Court decides which party has to 
pay the fees and bear the cash ex- 
penses, and, on request, fixes 
their amount. The decision is 
enforceable in the territories of 
the contracting parties. 

The Court may reduce the 
court fees if the party shows that 
he is not in a position to pay the 
costs without prejudice to the 
necessary support of himself and 
his family. 

ARTICLE 40. 

Legal disputes which at the 
time of the ratification of this 
Convention are pending before a 
German or Russian regular court, 
but have not yet been decided, 
may, in so far as the provisions of 
Articles 14 and 15 apply, on the 
request of a party be again 
brought before the Court of Ar- 
bitration. The request must be 
preferred before the Court of Ar- 
bitration, and until disposed of 
puts a stop to all periods running 
in the proceedings. 

The Court of Arbitration de- 
cides as to the request. When 
notified that a request has been 
lodged before the Court of Arbi- 
tration, the ordinary court must 
await its decisions. The conclu- 
sion of the Court of Arbitration 
must be delivered to the parties. 
After the delivery of a conclusion 
accepting the request, the enforce- 
ment of decisions of the ordinary 
court may be begun or continued 
only with the consent of the 
Court of Arbitration. 

The Court of Arbitration may, 
in its decision, have regard to the 
result of the former proceedings, 
in so far as it sees fit. With de- 
Uvery of the decision of tne Court 
of Arbitration the decisions 
reached in the matter by the or- 
dinary court lose their force so far 
as they conflict with the decision

court enforceable for the time 
being. The costs incurred in the 
proceedings before the regular 
court rank as a portion of the 
costs of the arbitration proceed- 
ings. 

ARTICLE 41. 

The request for the Court of 
Arbitration to deal with a matter 
may be made in accordance with 
Article 40, even after the judg- 
ment of the regular court has 
become enforceable, if the judg- 
ment has been delivered only 
after 31 July, 1914, and the- 
Court of Arbitration on recjuest 
grants reinstatement to the former 
position. 

The request for reinstatement 
must be lodged with the Court of 
Arbitration within six months of 
the coming into force of this Con- 
vention. It can be based only on- 
the claim that the party con- 
cerned, in consequence of his 
being a subject of an enemy 
Power, or owing to occurrences 
in the war, has not had sufficient 
opportunity to prosecute or 
defend his rights. The claim 
must be authenticated.

23. RUSSIA—GERMANY. 



MEMORANDUM ON THE RUSSO-GERMAN BOUNDARY AS 
ESTABLISHED BY THE TREATY OF PEACE OF BREST- 
LITOVSK. 

By Mark Jefferson. 



The Brest-Litovsk boundary line begins in the north at the 
entrance to the Gulf of Finland, which it controls by the possession 
of the islands Osel, Mohn, and Dago, very nearly in the latitude of 
Stockholm, Helsingfors, and St. Petersburg. The distance from 
Stockholm to Dago is 175 miles, from Helsingfors 100, from St. 
Petersburg 250. 

Russia's aspirations toward the sea receive a fearful blow by the 
loss of Riga and Libau. After centuries of isolation lessened by 
steady expansion towards the oceans, she finds herself for the first 
time in her history driven inland again by the loss of the best part of 
her best coast. 

The line comes ashore, the text says, in a segmental curve. From 
the Vorwaerts map that appears to mean an arc of a circle, which 
has Riga near its center and a radius of rather more than 20 miles 
(32 kilometers). To keep this curve and to follow the Vorwaerts 
map it is necessary to regard the text statement that it comes ashore 
a little to the northwest of the mouth of the Livonian Aa as an error. 
The word should be northeast. It is an important problem in draw- 
ing boundary lines to decide how near they may be tolerated to a 
large town. It appears to have been in the German mind that a 
distance of 20 miles, or perhaps it would be better to say a proximity 
of 20 miles, is not intolerable. It looks as if they could have insisted 
on 30 miles had they thought it vital. 

The boundar}^ line is about 740 miles long, somewhat longer than 
the distance by road from Land's End to John o' Groats; 150 miles 
of this is by sea (240 k.), 177 on dry land (283 k) and 400 along 
rivers (637 Ic). So that we may say the boundary has been placed 
mainly along rivers, more than half its total length ; and two thirds 
of its length ashore follows stream courses. A little east of Riga 
at tjxkiill the line is specified as crossing the Duna from north to 
south and to run thence eastward along the southern bank of the 
river for 178 miles (285 k). The remaining 220 miles of the river 
boundaries (352 k) are merely said to follow the course of the stream, 
as if mid-channel were meant. But all these other stream courses are 
small upper courses near headwaters where the rivers cannot have 
cut deeply into the surface, where it is probable that the rivers are 
not navigable nor their course in gorges. In other words in those 
regions the rivers are not very significant features of the landscape. 

221 



222 THE RUSSIAN " PEACE." 

Only on the Diina are we dealing with the lower, navigable course of 
a large deep stream. The whole course of the stream above Uxkiill 
is made Russian, possibly as a sort of compensation from the Germans 
to the Russians who are deprived of Riga and the river mouth. It 
is clear moreover that the Germans on the south bank are in an 
excellent position to dispute the navigation of the river any day 
they please to. The rest of the boundary down to the border of the 
new republic of Ukraine is along small streams by tiny hamlets, or 
across watersheds that are poorly drained. From the Dtina it turns 
to the southwest across the Baltic belt of morainah lakes between 
and roughly parallel to the two great lines of railway, from Warsaw 
to St. Petersburg, which is left in German hands as far north as 
Diinaburg (Dwinsk), and that from Warsaw to Moscow which 
remains Russian. There appear to be no large towns, which prob- 
ably means no notable development of resources, in the portions of 
Kowna (?), Vilna, and Grodno, which the Russians were allowed to 
keep. The country is pretty level, of sandy soil throughout and 
severe climate. Attempts have been made in the past to put German 
colonists upon it but they have never been willing to stay. It has 
seemed to them that it was too hard to conduct agriculture here. 
Yet a considerable proportion of the large landholders are German. 
In the south the line ends at the boundary of the Ukraine. It is 
to be noted from tliis boundary location that the Germans regard 
small streams or swamps in such country as this as suitable for 
boundary. And while we might question the frankness and sin- 
cerity of a statement by them to this effect, we may have paore 
confidence in the present inference as representing their views. 



24. ESTHONIA. 



PROTEST TO THE GEEMMJ" GOVERNMENT BY REPRESENTA- 
TIVES OF THE PROVISIONAL ESTHONIAN GOVERNMENT, 
AGAINST THE TREATY OF BREST-LITOVSK. SIGNED AT 
COPENHAGEN, 3 JULY, 1918. 



[Translrition from, a copy transmitted to the Department of State.] 

According to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk the Soviet Government 
of Russia accorded the German Empire the right to occupy Livonia 
and Esthonia with a German poHce force, until safety should be 
assured them by their own national institutions, and until a political 
order should be reestablished. In this agreement affecting Esthonian 
territory the signatories did not trouble themselves as to the wishes 
of the Esthonian people, althougli a declaration was sent to the 
Russian Soviet Government as ^'yeW as to the German Imperial Gov- 
ernment by the authorized delegates of the democratic representation 
of the Esthonian people, to the efi'ect that United Esthonia, on the 
basis of the right of peoples to self-determination, has declared itself 
an independent neutral state. Since both the Russian Soviet Govern- 
ment and the German Imperial Government have solemnly recognized 
the principle of the self-determination of peoples, they can make no 
arrangements for Esthonia's political fate. 

Therefore we solemnly submit herewith a protest against the 
violation in the Brest-Litovsk Treaty of the rights of the independent 
neutral Esthonian Republic. 

The Imperial Chancellor, Count Hertling, declared to the repre- 
sentatives of the German people that military action in Livonia 
and Esthonia was "a helping measure undertaken in the name of 
humanity": that the German police force in the country "would 
bring about peace and order only in the interests of the peace-loving 
population." 

But, in fact, the Gennan police power in United Esthonia, in 
complete contradiction with the Brest-Litovsk Treaty and with the 
declaration of the Imperial Chancellor on 25 February, and 18 
March, 1918, in the Reichstag, and of the Under-Secretary of State 
von dem Busche in the Main Committee of the Reichstag, has set 
up in the country an unlimited military dictatorship without any 
legal right and without any justification based on facts. 

By a vote of the General Esthonian Assembly (Landtag), which, 
as the legal representative of LTnited Esthonia, proclaimed the 
political independence of Esthonia on 28 November, 1917, a Pro- 
visional Esthonian Government was formed. Before the invasion 
of German troops on 24 February, 1918, this Provisional Govern- 

223 



224 THE RUSSIAN *' PEACE." 

ment, supported by national Esthonian troops, and in fulfilment 
of the vote of 28 November, proclaimed the republican form of 
government in Esthonia, and at once reestablished political order in 
most of the districts of the country. The German MOitary Author- 
ity, liowcver, has disarmed the Esthonian national troops, suspended 
the Esthonian Government and set aside the general adminis- 
trative and local self-governing institutions in town and country, 
which had been created by the Esthonian Assembly, in order 
to assume to itself all their functions; in doing this it has created in 
the towns and districts certain committees, to whose membership 
the Military Authority has appointed mainly representatives of the 
small and disappearing German minority — a minority which according 
to the latest statistical reckonings does not exceed 2h per cent of 
the population. The German language is even compulsory for 
private correspondence. The German language has likewise been 
thrust into the first place in the schools. Even in the elementary 
schools (Volksschule) obligatory instruction in the German language 
has been established; even for the one-class elementary schools 
several hours of German instruction weekly are prescribed. Since 
the majority of the elementary teachers are not in a position to 
undertake instruction in German, a great number of elementary 
schools have had to abandon their teaching. Furthermore the 
Military Authority has arranged for the immediate Germanization 
of the University of Dorpat. 

By means of the most arbitrary regulations, imposing enormous 
fines of money, and even of hard labor and death by shooting, the 
Military Authority has suppressed all free expression of opinion 
and all political activity in Esthonia. Instead it has energetically 
promoted in the country a systematic falsification of the wishes of 
the Esthonian people and a deliberate misrepresentation of public 
opinion. Almost all the Esthonian newspapers were prohibited 
immediately after the invasion of the German troops. The few 
newspapers which have received authorization since then have had 
to work under unheard-of repressive measures. It is not only 
that the Esthonian papers have been placed under the strictest 
preventive censorship and that the censorship is exercised by pre- 
ciselv those Baltic Germans who have hitherto stood hostile toward 
everything Esthonian; but the editors are forced to print one-sided 
pro-German articles which are supplied to them from official mili- 
tary sources, as if the articles were the editors' own expressions of 
opinion: they cannot even indicate the real origin of the articles. 
And if a newspaper will not yield to this demand, it is mercilessly 
suppressed by the Military Authority, as recently happened in the 
case of the only authorized Esthonian newspaper in Reval. 

^ Respected representatives of the Esthonian educated classes are 
imprisoned without any legal grounds, simply because they have 
dared in a most moderate way stand for the observation of the 
principle of the reign of law by appealing to international law. 

In this unlimited reign of terror even the conservative party of 
Esthonian landlords has been compelled to cease its political activities 
"until the advent of freer times." Later all political organizations 
were suppressed by the MiUtary Authority in Livonia, while the other 
societies were allowed to continue their activity only under the 
heaviest conditions. 



PROTEST OF THE PEOVISIONAL ESTHONIAN GOVERNMENT. 225 

The German Military Power in Esthonia, however, does not content 
itself with the terrorization of the free expression of opinions, but 
lends its active support to attempts at a gross misrepresentation of 
the wishes of the Esthonian people, and to a forcing from the Estho- 
nian population of a pro-German attitude in matters relating to the 
political future of Esthonia — an attitude which is in direct opposition 
to the general political ideals of the Esthonian people. Thus the 
history of the meeting of the United Diet [Vcreinigte Landrat] of 
Livonia, Esthonia, Desel, and the town of Eiga shows a series of the 
most brutal acts of violence. As representatives of the Esthonian 
people there were summoned to the Council only a few delegates of 
the communal elders of the peasant communes, as if there was not 
also an overwhelming Esthonian majority in all the towns of Esthonia. 
And this representation of communal elders was also created under 
such circumstances that all the Esthonian communal elders of thcs 
Livonian National Assembly [Landesversammlung] unanimously 
declared publicly that they could not regard themselves as the lawful 
representatives of the Esthonian people, because they were not 
selected through regular elections, but were ordered to come together. 
Subsequently, in order to give the lacking authoritativeness to the 
acts of the United Diet, called together in this way, in re?ard to the 
annexation of Esthonia to the German Empire, representatives of the 
German nobility, of the German pastors, and of other Baltic German 
groups, with the active support of the military power, started a secret 
collecting of signatures among the Esthonian population in favor of a 
closer political connection between Esthonia and the German Empire; 
in doing this every means was used to terrorize the people in order 
to secure the desired result. 

Heavy rests the hand of the German police for^e as regards eco- 
nomic matters in the country. Publicly the categorical assertion has 
been made by the German military authority that Esthonia would be 
freed from all requisitions for the support of the German Ai'my of 
Occupation, since the economic condition of the country was unspeak- 
ably bad as a result of the disorders of war and the Bolshevist disiurb- 
ances. Nevertheless the local agricultural population has had to suffer 
in the highest degree from general requisitions of victuals and forage 
"for the good of the towns;" but the town population has not been 
provided even with the most necessary supplies. This contradiction 
is explained by the fact that an enormous dispatch of the most neces- 
sary victuals from Esthonia to Germany has been made possible 
through the Post Office — not to mention other means. 

The Imperial Chancellor, Count Hertling, in a more precise inter- 
pretation of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty expressly declared in the Reichs- 
tag on 18 March, 1918 : " We are not thinking of establishing ourselves 
permanently [uns festsetzenl in Esthonia or Livonia; we wish only to 
live on good friendly terms after the war with the political forms 
which are coming into existence there." But the commanding gen- 
eral in Esthonia, General Freiherr von Seckendorff, at the time of the 
formal opening of the Esthonian Diet, called together by the Military 
Authority, declared at Reval on 9 April of this year, with especial 
emphasis, according to the official report: "German troops will not 
leave Esthonia; they will stay here for permanent protection." And 



226 THE RUSSIAl^ " PEACE." 

the hio;hest commander, General Count Kirchbach, emphasized the 
same thin^ in different words in an official letter to the Esthonian 
organization of Naiva. 

The conduct of the German Military Authority in United Esthonia 
means, both in form and also in practice, an unheard of violation 
of the most elementary demands of international law and an arbi- 
trary trampling upon the prinr-iple of the right of peoples to self- 
determinati(^n, a right which has repeatedly been recognized in an 
unequivocal manner by the German Imperial Government and by 
the representatives of the German people. 

Therefore, we consider it our duty to hand to the German Govern- 
ment a most decided protest and to request the German Military 
Authority to take measures without delay, so that violence done to 
the Esthonian people by the German mihtary force shall come to an 
end, and United Esthonia, as a self-go A^ernmg and independent State, 
shall be able to take in hand the management of its own existence. 

Above all, the Provisional Esthonian Government must be allowed 
to exercise again its functions, hi order that, with the aid of the 
Esthonian troops which are to be agam organized, it may take care 
of the political organization in the country and that it may without 
delay call together a general Esthonian Assembly [Landtag] and, in 
accordance with its orders, take steps at once for the bringing to- 
gether as soon as possible of the Esthonian Constituent Assembly, the 
elections to which were interrupted in many districts m the country 
by the Bolshevists, to decide definitely the political foundations and 
the form of govermnent m United Esthonia. 

Tlie evidence, on which the foregoing statements rest, is to be 
found in the enclosed documents.

25. MEMORANDUM. 



STATUS OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET, 14 SEPTEMBER, 1918. 



The following information as to the present status of the former 
Russian Navy has been derived from all available sources. The 
reports on this subject have been m.any, and often conflicting, and 
of doubtful authenticity; all such reports have been carefully 
collated, and reliance has been placed only upon those which seemed 
worthy of credence. It is believed that the conclusions thus form^ed 
are in general correct, but it is impossible to guarantee the accuracy 
of each detail of information herein set forth. 

At the time of the October Revolution, 1917, the Russian Navy 
was divided into four main forces, namely : 

1. The Baltic Fleet. 

2. The Black Sea Fleet. 

3. The Arctic and Wliite Sea Squadron. 

4. The Pacific Squadron. 

In addition to these principal forces, a flotilla of gunboats and 
special service vessels were operating independently (1) in the Danube 
River and (2) in the Caspian Sea. The present status and disposi- 
tion of these several forces will now be considered separately:

TORPEDO CRAFT. 



In January, 1918, the Baltic Fleet included about 86 destroyers, 
of which 14 were largo new vossi^s ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 tons. 
There were also a number of small torpedo boats. A large num- 
ber of the destroyers, perhaps 30, were unable, on account of 
the ice, to leave Holsingfors when the Germans occupied that port 
in April, 1918; they have since been disarmed and probably stripped. 
They are under control of the German-Finnish Government. The 
remainder of the destrovors and torpedo boats are reported at Cron- 
stadt or Petrograd, while some are said to have taken refuge in Lake 
Ladoga. All of these are, of course, under control, such as it is, of 
the Soviet Government. Sixteen destroyers under construction at 
Revel are doubtless in the hands of the Germans; 10 are under 
construction at Petrograd.

In January, 1918, the Baltic Fleet included probably 32 subma- 
rines. Six or eight of these fell into the hands of the Germans at 
Revel, and about 15 at Helsingfors. The remainder are reported at 
Petrograd or Cronstadt under control of the Soviet Government. 
It is possible that several were blown up by their own crews at 
Hango just before the German occupation of that port. Seven Brit- 
ish submarines that had been operating with the Russian Fleet in 
the Baltic were thus destroyed outside of Helsingfors by order of 
the Admiralty between 3 and 8 April, 1918. A number of unfin- 
ished submarmes may have fallen into the hands of the Germans at 
Revel. There are also a few unfinished in Petrograd. 

AUXILIARIES. 

An immense train of auxiliaries is thought to be for the most part 
in Cronstadt and Petrograd under the control of the Soviet Govern- 
ment, but a few fell into the hands of the Germans at Revel and Abo, 
and a considerable number remained at Helsingfors until after the 
German occupation. The latter have been seized by the Finnish 
Government. 

SUMMARY. 

All dreadnaughts, battleships, unfinished battle cruisers, and cruis- 
ers are in the nands of the Soviet Government with the possible 
exception of the cruiser Admiral MakTiaroff, which may have been 
sunk by a mine, and of the cruiser Rurik, which may have remained 
in Revel and fallen into the hands of the Germans. The cruisers 
Admiral Greig and Svietlana, building at Revel, are in the hands of 
the Germans. Torpedo craft, submarines, and auxiUaries are partly 
in Soviet hands, partly in German or Finnish hands, and partly 
destroyed as above set lorth. 

The fleet in the hands of the Soviet Government is completely 
demoralized; many of the ships have been stripped by their crews; 
discipline is practically nonexistent, and in all cases the crews have 
been much depleted. 

The Baltic Fleet can not be considered as a fighting force; it is 
practically at the mercy of any enemy force that may occupy Cron- 
stadt or Petrograd.

DREADNAUGHTS. 

Before the occupation of Sevastopol by 
the Germans 4 May, 1918, this ship, a 
new dreadnaught, escaped from Sevas- 
topol to Novorossisk, but upon the de- 
mand of tlie Germans she was returned 
to Sevastopol early in June, 1918, and 
is now in their hands. 

This ship likewise escaped to Novorossisk 
in May, 1918, but when the Germans 
ordered her to be delivered to them in 
Sevastopol in June, 1918, she was 
blown up by her crew and sunk. 

Blown up and sunk through an internal 
explosion at Sevastopol 19 October, 
1916, but salvage operations begun by 
the Russians and continued by the 
Germans resulted in successfully rais- 
ing her in July, 1918. vShe is now in 
the hands of t lie Germans in Sevastopol 
and tliought to be undergoing repair. 

This ship, the last of her class, was laid 
down at Nicolaieff in 1914 and launched 
October, 1916. She nuist have been 
nearly completed when she fell into the 
hands of the Germans upon their occu- 
pation of Nicolaieff in March, 1918. 



PRE-DREADNAUGHT BATTLESHIPS. 



All these older battleships fell into the 
hands of the Germans when they occu- 
pied Sevastopol, 4 May, 1918. They 
were said to be flying the Ukrainian 
fla^ at the time. They were immedi- 
ately unmanned, and remain at Sevas- 
topol in the hands of the Germans.

of the Germans in Sevastopol May, 
1918, and has since been turned over 
to Turkey, and has arrived at Constan-

TORPEDO CRAFT. 

At the time of the negotiation of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the 
Black Sea Fleet included 27 destroyers, 17 of which were of large 
modern type, the remainder being small second-class boats with 
maximum speed of 14 knots. Some of these destroyers fell into 
the hands of the Germans upon the occupation of Sevastopol, 4 
May, 1918, while the remainder fled to Novorossisk. Wlien in June 
the Germans demanded the return of the latter to Sevastopol, in 
accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, nine or ten 
were blown up by tlieir own crews, while the remainder returned to 
Sevastopol in accordance with the German demands. Therefoie, at 
least, 17 or 18 of these boats are now in the hands of the Germans, but 
no information is available to identify them. 

In March, 1918, ♦four large modem destroj-ers building at Nicolaieff, 
and almost completed, also fell into the hands of the Germans upon 
their occupation of that port. 

SUBMARINES. 

At least 14, and possibly 16, submarines comprising the whole 
Black S(ua Flotilla, fell into the hands of the Germans at Sevastopol, 
4 Ma}-, 1918. There also fell into their hands at Nicolaieff, in March, 
1918, two other nearly completed submarines, as well as the parts for 
six more, in packing cases.

232 THE RUSSIAN " PEACE." 

It is reported that the Germans have demobiUzed the Russian 
crews of all the ships in their control, and are refitting the entire 
Black Sea Fleet and manning all the ships with full complements 
drawn from the German Navy. 

(3) Arctic and White Sea Squadron 

battleship. 

Chesma Guardship, Kola Inlet; demobilized; care 

and maintenance party left. 

CRUISER. 

Askold At Murmansk ; shortly to be commis- 
sioned with British personnel. 

DESTROYERS. 

Two of the White Sea destroyers are repairing at Liverpool; the 
remaining four are at Murmansk, each boat with a crew of six men. 
All four boats are in charge of one officer. 

SUBMARINES. 

One at Archangel and one at Alexandrovsk. 

AUXILIARIES. 

A very considerable train of merchant cruisers, transports, and 
fleet auxiliaries are in the "various White Sea and Murman ports. 

SUMMARY. 

All the White Sea and Arctic forces, although largely demobi- 
lized, are under allied and American control. 

(4). Pacific Squadron, 
destroyer flotilla. 

Twelve destroyers at Vladivostok were ordered demobilized by the- 
Soviet Government, 22 February, 1918, and in July, 1918, these, 
boats were disarmed. Two destroyers of this flotilla are at Hong- 
kong, as is the auxiliary cruiser Orel. 

AUXILIARIES. 

A number of mine layers and other auxiliaries form part of this 
force, but no satisfactory information is now available concerning^ 
them. 



.CU 



STATUS OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET. 233 

RIVER GUNBOATS. 

A flotilla of 28 gunboats was formerly maintained on the Amur 
Kiver. It is known that most of these have had their engines and 
guns removed by the Bolsheviki; but no further reliable information 
is available. 

SUMMARY. 

From the foregoing it would appear that the Pacific Squadron 
can no longer be considered as a fighting force. 

Danube Kiver Forces. 

A number of barges, river gunboats, and auxiliaries were formerly 
detailed for duty on the Danube River in connection with two naval 
brigades. All the vessels of this force are probably in the hands of 
the Germans. 

Caspian Sea Force. 

Two gunboats and four auxiliaries were formerly maintained on 
the Caspian Sea. No information is available as to the fate of these 
vessels.
